Benton County Health Department 

Food Establishment Inspection Reports

Food Code Violations are broken down into two categories: Critical and Non-critical.   Critical violations are items that, if in non-compliance, are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination, illness, or an environmental health hazard.  Examples of critical violations include food obtained from an unsafe source, inadequate cooking, improper holding, contaminated equipment, and poor personal hygiene.  Non- critical violations cover such things as:  Dirty floors, walls and ceilings, open waste receptacles or no thermometer in refrigerator. For more detailed information on critical and non-critical violations, please refer to the Benton County Food Code.  Repeat offences of non-critical violations could turn them into critical violations.

Several important things to note, the inspections report information here describes conditions found in the food service establishment at the time of inspection.  A single inspection should not be used to evaluate a food service establishment.  Looking at the series of inspection results over time gives a more accurate picture of the food service establishment's commitment to food safety and sanitation.

Anytime a food service establishment is found to pose an imminent hazard to the public health, the Benton County Food Ordinance allows for closure of the establishment.  An imminent health hazard may exist because an emergency such as a fire, flood, extended interruption of electrical or water service, sewage backup, misuse of poisonous or toxic materials, the onset of an apparent food borne illness outbreak, a gross unsanitary occurrence or condition, or other circumstances that may endanger the public.

Food service inspections are a public record, and the detailed inspection records are available for examination at the Benton County Health Department. 

Each Establishment's Inspection will have the following information:  

• Pre-opening Inspection: (P)  An inspection performed before an establishment can open for regular business.   

• Routine Inspection: (R)  This is a scheduled inspection, unannounced to the restaurant. An inspector will conduct a complete inspection covering all items in the regulations for compliance.
• Follow-up Inspection: (F)  This is an inspection for the specific purpose of re-inspecting  items that were not in compliance at the time of the routine inspection.
• Complaint Inspection: (C)  This is an inspection conducted as a result of a complaint received by the Health Department. The specifics of the complaint will be evaluated and discussed with the person in charge.
• Liquor Inspection: (L) This inspection is for the sole purpose of obtaining a liquor license.
• Training: The Inspector will provide food training at the establishments request.

Inspection Dates are color coded as follows:

Green: Passed

Purple:  Non-critical

Red: Critical
