- Comments from inspection:
Red “critical” violations involve “food source and condition, food cooking and storage temperatures, sanitary practices of food workers, water and sewage, pest contamination of food and the use of toxic materials,” according to a spokesperson from the New York State Department of Health.
Critical violations must be corrected at the time of inspection because they include factors that could lead to foodborne illness.
In New York state, restaurant inspections are not conducted on a pass or fail basis.
Non-critical, or blue, violations are not related to factors that could directly cause foodborne illness, but they could have a negative affect on the operation of the restaurant. These types of violations relate to the maintenance, design, and cleanliness of the establishment.
Non-critical violations are low-pressure and must be fixed according to the timeframe given by the health inspector.
How often are restaurant health inspections conducted in Dutchess County?
The frequency of restaurant inspections in New York state depends on the risk category of the establishment and the establishment’s history of health code compliance.
High-risk restaurants are inspected twice per year, medium-risk restaurants once per year, and low-risk restaurants every other year.
Examples of high-risk restaurants include table-service restaurants, diners and school kitchens which prepare foods – these are establishments that have complex food processes like preparing food in advance or reheating and cooling food.
Medium-risk restaurants don’t require such complex processes because they serve low maintenance food, like pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches.
Bars and coffee shops are typical low-risk food service establishments due to the minimal preparation required for their food service.
The inspectors from health departments in each county are trained by the New York State Department of Health to standardize restaurant health inspections across the state. Information for each county's health department can be found at health.ny.gov/environmental/water/drinking/ctyadd1.htm .
