Food Inspections
Types of Violations
There are two types of food safety violations. Red violations are Critical Risk Factors that are more likely to cause food borne illness. Blue violations are low risk factors defined as Good Retail Practices that are less likely to cause illness.
Inspection Results
Environmental Health Specialists work with operators to address violations whenever possible during the inspection. Critical risk factors must be corrected immediately to protect public health.
Below are different results you may see for an inspection report.

Additional Outcomes
Some businesses may need additional follow-up if critical or ongoing risk factors are still present.
- Re-inspection Required: A follow-up inspection will be scheduled to verify that repeated or ongoing critical risk factors have been corrected, even if the business passed the initial inspection.
- Compliance Required: Critical risk factors remain and more follow-up is needed, such as another inspection or an office conference.
- Office Conference: The business must meet with YHD to address critical risk factors and create a correction plan.
