Food Service Inspection Reports

Below the table please find a description of the type of data stored in each field / column.

The data above comes from Food Service Inspections performed by Cattaraugus County Health Department - Environmental Health staff. These inpsections are performed at

different intervals dependent upon characteristics of the facility / operation.  In interpreting the data above it should be noted that "all violations are not created equal".  Critical

or "RED" violations are generally more serious and may have the potential to cause food-borne illness.  Non-critical violations or "BLUE" violations are not as serious and

generally have little or no potential to cause food-borne illness.   The table shows the inspection results for the most recent inspection.  It should be noted that each inspection

is a "snapshot in time" and may not represent the conditions at a facility / operation at any other time.  The easiest way to view the results of the most recent inspection is to click on the number in the

left-most column for the facility / operation you wish to view.  Upon clicking a window will appear at the bottom of the table with the inspection results.
