Health inspections - August

Mason County Public Health routinely inspects food establishments once or twice a year. Inspectors look for critical violations, which can lead to food contamination or foodborne illness, and noncritical violations, which don’t directly lead to foodborne illness but could hinder operation of the restaurant.

Red Points are given for critical violations and blue points are given for noncritical violations. Below is a list of food establishments with their red and blue scores and a summary of critical violations, according to the county’s July inspection report.
