Barry County Health Department releases August 2019 Food Service Report
September 11, 2019
The Barry County Health Department divides food service code violations into two categories: Priority and Core items.
Priority items are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination or illness and/or injury.
Core items, although important to the overall hygiene of the establishment, do not necessarily present an immediate threat to food contamination or illness and/or injury.
A report for each establishment that is inspected shows the number of priority items along with a short statement as to the nature of the violations. The report also shows the number of core items but doesn’t list the nature of those violations.
