Most Phenix City restaurants inspected in the latest reports received perfect scores

Most Phenix City restaurants, lounges and bars that were in the latest health inspection reports received perfect scores, according to the Alabama Health Department.

All 22 Phenix City food service establishments inspected between July 19 and August 14 were considered to be in satisfactory compliance.

Alabama state law generally requires food service establishments to be inspected at least three times a year depending on the type of food being prepared. Convenience stores may be inspected once a year.

Restaurants are placed in one of four categories that determine the re-inspection schedule and use of enforcement actions:

• Scores of 85 to 100 are considered to be satisfactory compliance and inspected on a routine schedule

• Establishments that score between 70 to 84 require a follow-up inspection within 60 days

• Scores of 60-69 require follow-up and re-inspection within 48 hours

• Establishments that score below 60 are closed immediately

No restaurant in Phenix City failed their routine inspection in the latest reports. Here are the scores for other restaurants inspected last month.
