Marion County restaurant inspections: Free Loader Tavern, Subway, Domino's
ABOUT RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS
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 5 points, and priority foundation violations deduct 3 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 reinspected 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.
Latest inspections are now viewable here.
Semiannual restaurant inspections from March 4-6.
