A
- "No critical violations noted," according to the MSDH website. "The facility inspection found no critical violations. Critical violations of the state Food Code are those more likely to lead to food contamination, illness, or other health risk."
B
- "Critical violations were corrected during the inspection," according to the MSDH website. "Critical violations were found, but corrected under the supervision of the inspecting environmentalist. No further corrective actions are required."
C
- "Critical violations have not been corrected," according to the MSDH website. "Critical violations were found, but some or all were not corrected during the inspection. The facility will be re-inspected, and all violations must be corrected in a time period not to exceed 10 days. The re-inspection date is posted on the graded report. If violations are not corrected in the specified time, steps are taken to suspend the facility's permit to operate. A grade of C is also given if critical violations are repeated from the last inspection, even if they were corrected at that time."
