East Cobb Food Scores, Aug. 12-16

By Patch Local Editor Melissa Kory

Each item on an inspection form has a point value ranging from 1 to 9 points, with violations deducting points from a best possible score of 100. 

Higher points are taken for items with higher risk to cause illness, while repeat violations take even more points. Letter grades assigned are A for totals of 100 to 90 points, B for 89 to 80, C for 79 to 70, and U for less than 70.
