Jefferson City inspected 57 food services during the month of September.
The inspections note critical and non-critical violations.
Critical violations are the more serious, as they're more likely to compromise food safety and cause health problems. Critical violations often concern improper food temperatures, either on a stove/grill or in holding areas after cooking or before cooking, such as in a refrigerator. They also could involve plumbing repairs, personal hygiene, people handling food who are sick, or contamination such as pest infestations.
Non-critical violations are more minor offenses, which could deal with cleaning/maintenance of floors, walls, ceilings, open waste receptacles, unshielded light bulbs in a food preparation area, or a missing thermometer in a refrigerator.
