Veggie Sink Used as Dump Sink for Liquids, Gloves Not Changed Between Tasks

The Northeast Health District is tasked with ensuring restaurant compliance with applicable health and safety regulations. The following are the most recent scores available for Walton County restaurants.

Each kitchen is given a score, and any violations are listed on-line.  The restaurant or cafeteria is categorized as low risk if there are no critical violations and a score of 90 or more is achieved.  For a food establishment to be categorized as high risk, one or more critical violations must be found.

Any restaurant with a failing grade -- a score of 70 or less -- receives a follow-up inspection within 10 days.
