Last week SC Department of Health and Environmental Control inspectors visited 190 food establishments for either routine or follow-up inspections. One follow-up inspection from a previous week (week of 3/13 - 3/17) received a “B” grade for the second time only raising the percent from a 78 percent to an 83 percent.

R | Routine Inspection - Unannounced and conducted on a frequency determined by the facility’s Risk Category on a frequency of one to four times a year.

F | Follow-Up Inspection - Conducted within ten days of a Routine Inspection that requires follow-up verification.
