Food Inspections

Counts come from the local health district’s public report. Critical means the inspector marked it critical. This is not a grade, and a missing business was not inspected this week.

About this board: Reports come only from what each health department posts in public. Scioto County Health Department reports are read from its posted inspection PDFs, which mark each item critical or non-critical. Ross and Highland rows are entered by hand from the health districts’ public report pages, which do not mark items critical, so those cards count total violations. Each county shows its most recent public reports until newer ones are posted. Pike, Pickaway, Franklin, Gallia, Vinton and Jackson have no public feed we can use yet.
