This is a snapshot of the inspections conducted by the Marion County health department. 

Twice annually, licensed restaurants receive unannounced inspections that focus on food temperatures, food preparation practices, worker hygiene, dish-washing and sanitizing, and equipment and facility cleanliness. 

Violations: Restaurant scores are based on a 100-point scale. Priority violations deduct five points, and priority foundation violations deduct three points. Violations recorded on consecutive inspections result in point deductions being doubled.  

Scoring: Scores of 70 or higher are considered compliant. Restaurants scoring below 70 must be re-inspected within 30 days or face closure or other administrative action. Restaurants display a placard by the entrance to indicate whether they have passed their last inspection. 

At the beginning of 2022, health inspections moved from their former website and the latest inspections are now viewable here.
