Here Are The July Restaurant Inspections

The Naugatuck Valley Health District released the following summary of its food service inspection report for the month of June.

Anything below 80 is categorized as failing.

A restaurant may also fail if it receives a single, serious violation.

The Naugatuck Valley Health District includes information about which establishments required re-inspections because of violations.

In addition, the Valley Indy reviewed the inspection reports at the health district’s offices to see what specific violations were listed for establishments requiring re-inspection.

The health district itself has also instituted a new ratings system, dividing establishments into the categories ​“Excellent,” ​“Good,” ​“Fair,” and ​“Poor,” and restaurants must post their ratings under the system on their doors.

Not all of the establishments inspected last month have the new ratings because they were implemented July 8, so any inspections done before that date wouldn’t include an Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor designation.
