A total of 775 such establishments, 15 of which scored below a 90, were inspected in Mecklenburg County last month. For those with a “B” or “C” grade in September that have since been reinspected, the updated score will be noted in the summary.
Food establishments that score below a 70 immediately have their permits revoked, according to state law.
There are about 4,400 food-service facilities in operation across Mecklenburg County. That’s according to the Food and Facilities Sanitation Program, which is part of the Mecklenburg County Health Department’s Environmental Health division. Staff within that division conduct more than 13,000 facility inspections each year “to help maintain high levels of sanitation in the protection of public health,” its website states.
The list of restaurants scoring below an “A” includes an uptown eatery as well as a hotel and a South End brunch spot, among others. Check out the list here.
