Jefferson City's Food Code requires food-service establishments be inspected at least once every six months.
Priority violations are items that, if in non-compliance, are more likely to contribute to food contamination, illness or an environmental health hazard. Some examples of priority items include improper holding of temperatures of foods, inadequate cooking of food items, poor personal hygiene and contaminated equipment.
Examples of core items include cleaning and maintenance of floors, walls, and ceilings; open waste receptacles; unshielded light bulbs in food preparation areas; and missing thermometers in refrigeration units for monitoring temperature.
The Food Code typically requires establishments to correct priority violations at the time of inspection when possible, or within a longer time frame not to exceed 10 days agreed upon with the regulatory authority. Establishments are required to correct core violations by a date agreed to with the regulatory authority not to exceed 90 days from the time of inspection.
