The Garrard County Health Department makes routine inspections on food service establishments. They are inspected for food storage and handling, food temperatures, utensil washing, rest rooms, and general sanitation. They are graded on a scale of 1 to 100 with 100 being a perfect score.

Violations of the 2005 FDA food service code carry values of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 points depending on the seriousness of the violation. Items that are worth 3, 4 or 5 points are considered “critical items” and require immediate correction, if possible. If immediate correction is not possible critical items must be corrected within 10 days of the inspection. Establishments with a score of 85-100 with no critical violations are in compliance with the Kentucky Food Service Code. Establishments with a score of 70-84, with no critical violations, must be re-inspected within 30 days and may face suspension if deficiencies are not corrected in that time. Establishments with a score of 60-69 are issued a notice of intent to suspend their permit. Establishments with a score of 59 or less are closed immediately.
