Black residue. Flies. Uncovered food. All in Columbus inspection scores for May
Food inspectors visited over 50 Muscogee County restaurants, lounges and other establishments during May.
Among the establishments inspected, 42 earned perfect scores with 27 also receiving an “A”. Three establishments earned a “B”. This is the fifth consecutive month where no food establishment scored below a “B” grade in Columbus.
No Muscogee County restaurant requires a follow-up visit this month.
How the grading system works
Restaurants receive one of four letter grades that are assigned based on how many points are deducted from 100:
“A” grades mean food safety is excellent and is achieved by receiving 90-100 points.
“B’s” are issued when there is “satisfactory compliance” with the business receiving 80-89 points.
“C’s” mean there is marginal compliance and applied to scores between 70-79.
“U’s” represent unsatisfactory compliance and are applied to scores of 69 or less.
Establishments that receive a “C” or “U” food safety grade will have at least one additional routine inspection added in a twelve month period, according to state law.
Residents can find information on all health inspections on the Georgia Department of Health’s online portal.
