Did you know . . . you have to provide the health inspection report?

July 1, 2013

Under the California Retail Food Code, restaurant operators are required to provide health inspection reports for any guest that requests to see them. A TV reporter recently visited several restaurants to test compliance and discovered almost no manager was aware of this rule. Many states have started posting the inspections on-line but that unfortunately does not satisfy this requirement. When a guest comes into your restaurant and asks for the most recent health inspection, we are required to provide them with a copy. It must be the most recent and, to the best of our ability, it must be legible.
