Restaurant Inspection Reports
Every year the Village inspects its restaurants and food establishments to ensure food is prepared in sanitary conditions and using sanitary methods as found in the Village Code and the 2017 U.S. Food & Drug Administration Food Code and Part 750 of the Illinois Food Code. The Village contracts with SAFEbuilt to perform health inspections on each food establishment up to three times per year. This is based on the following three risk categories shown in Appendix B-3 Table 1-Annex 5:
- Risk category 1 food establishments shall be inspected a minimum of 1 time per year.
- Convenience stores, hot dog style carts, coffee shops as well as establishments that only sell pre-packaged non time/temperature control foods.
- Risk category 2 food establishments shall be inspected a minimum of 2 times per year.
- Retail food stores, schools not serving highly susceptible populations, and quick service operations.
- Risk categories 3 and 4 food establishments shall be inspected a minimum of 3 times per year.
- Full service restaurants, preschools, hospitals, nursing homes and establishments conducting processing at retail.
At the end of the inspection, the Health Inspector develops a report using Form 3-A provided in the 2017 U.S. FDA Food Code, based on objective criteria, which is provided to the owner of the establishment and archived at Village Hall.
