Sanitation ratings of Indian restaurants in RTP
What are restaurant grades?
Based on their adherence to the state standards and any violations the inspector observes, food establishments receive an overall score for each inspection that translates into a letter grade.
- A score of 90% or higher equals an A grade.
- A score of 80-90%, equals a B grade.
- A score of 70-80%, equals a C grade.
- Maximum score that an establishment can receive is 100%
Under state law, establishments must have a grade of at least a C, or a score of 70%, to operate. An establishment’s permits are immediately revoked if it receives a score of less than 70%.
ChaiBuzz’s take
If you are someone who deeply cares about sanitation, you should pay attention to the sanitation scores that are displayed at restaurants. Also licensed kitchens, come with their checks and balances in the form of sanitation scores and revocation of permits. But with home based caterers (without license), we never know. How do we know that the food is preserved properly and ingredients with good quality are used?
Overall, most of the restaurants are doing well with A-grades. Few restaurants, often require/rely on the reinspection. This could imply that the restaurants don't have well-refined processes. When restaurants request a reinspection, food inspector revisits anytime within 2 weeks to give their updated score. Kudos to Cilantro Indian Cafe, for consistently receiving a score of 100.
