INSPECTION INFORMATION
This site lists
the most recent routine inspections, and may include inspection reports
for re-inspections that were required to be conducted based on the
violations observed. Newly
constructed facilities or facilities that have recently changed
ownership will usually have less inspection data available. Historical documents are also listed,
depending on specific record retention requirements, and the imaging
project's current progress.
Inspection information and inspection reports are automatically updated and posted to the website daily,
subject to internal review and workflow processing.

COMMON FOOD INSPECTION TERMS
California Uniform Retail Food
Facilities Law (CURFFL) is the section of the State
of California Health
and Safety Code that regulates the operation of retail food facilities.
The operating requirements for retail food facilities food are defined
in this code, along with the criteria of what constitutes a minor or
major violation. Click on the link above to view the CURFFL document in Adobe Acrobat format.
Cross Contamination is the transfer of harmful microorganisms from one food to
another by means of a nonfood surface (equipment, utensils, human
hands), or from storing or thawing raw meat or poultry above other
foods.
Diligent
Preparation is a process in which a food
handler is actively engaged in the preparation of a food item.
Foodborne Illness: Foodborne illness is caused by consuming
contaminated foods or beverages.
Many different disease-causing microbes, or pathogens, can
contaminate foods, so there are many different foodborne
infections. In addition,
poisonous chemicals, or other harmful substances can cause foodborne diseases if they are present in
food. All of these are possible
causes of what is commonly referred to as "food poisoning,"
although the exact symptoms depend on the source of the
contamination. For more
information on foodborne illness please visit
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Foodborne Illness information page.
Major
Violations are those violations observed
during a food facility inspection that pose an imminent risk to public
health and may warrant immediate closure of the facility or immediate
correction. If major violations
are observed, they are check marked on the inspection report and the
violations are documented. A reinspection of the facility is usually required
unless the cause of the major violation is immediately corrected during
the routine inspection.
Minor
Violations are those that do not pose an
imminent public health risk, but do warrant correction. A re-inspection may not be required
for observations of minor violations.
Potentially
Hazardous Food (PHF) is food that is in a form capable of supporting rapid and
progressive growth of microorganisms that may cause foodborne
illness. Examples of potentially
hazardous foods include meat, poultry, seafood, dairy
products such as cheese, milk & eggs, cooked vegetables, cut
melons, sprouts, and garlic in oil.
Ready to Eat
Foods:
Foods that will not undergo further washing, cooking, or
preparation by the food facility prior to being served to the customer.
