Health Inspectors Visit McDonald's and Washington Farms

The following is a list of Oconee County restaurants that have been inspected recently.  All information was obtained from the Northeast Georgia Health District's health scores website.

Each kitchen is given a score, and any violations are listed online.  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.
