The SC Department of Health and Environmental Control performed 103 unannounced routine and follow-up inspections this week (May 8 - 12) in the Myrtle Beach area.

Two facilities had routine inspections and did not earn “A” grades, both of these facilities were convenience stores.

Stopping in just to get gas? Maybe you decide to pick up grab-and-go snacks and treats or maybe a sandwich or hot meal to go, these facilities are required to practice retail food safety practices.

“Restaurants, delis, school cafeterias, grocery stores, retail meat markets, bakeries, seafood markets and convenience stores and most instances where a member of the public can enter an establishment an order food.”

Both of these establishments had routine inspections and will have follow-up inspections within the next ten days as noted on reports provided to The Sun News.

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

Remember to take a look at the food letter grade decal when you visit your favorite restaurants. Make sure you see an “A” grade posted near the entrance of the facility. Within the next year SC Department of Health and Environmental Control will have QR codes on food decals at restaurant’s so you can scan and find out your favorite restaurant’s history.
