Food Inspection Grading
Please review the document titled "FB Food Inspection Grading Criteria" below to learn more about the criteria by which Farmers Branch restaurants are graded.
Food Grading Results
Food establishments are listed alphabetically by the specialty of food served such as Chinese, Italian, Seafood, etc. Occasionally, a food establishment will serve a variety of foods and will not fit under a particular category. These will be listed under Other. The specific violation or violations are listed by the number that corresponds to the above key. Food establishments will also be listed according to the type of their operation such as full service restaurants, grocery stores, cafeterias, etc. The score will be entered numerically from zero to 30 or above. It is important to remember when looking at the overall score to keep in mind the operation being conducted at that facility. A full-service restaurant, for example, that prepares meals from scratch is involved in more complex operations and processing than a convenience store that sells only pre-packaged food items. Also, any inspection is a "snapshot" of the day and time of the inspection. On any given day, a restaurant could have more or less violations than noted at the time and date the inspection was made and may not be representative of the overall, long-term cleanliness of an establishment. Also, important to remember is, at the time of the inspection, violations are recorded on the inspection form but are often corrected on-the-spot prior to the health inspector leaving the establishment.
Grading criteria inspections are scored 100 and below. The higher the score, the fewer violations at the time of inspection. The grading criteria are as follows:
- 100-97: Excellent
- 96-90: Good
- 89- 81: Satisfactory
- 80-71: Poor
- 70 or below: Failing
