MARYLAND: EDITORIAL: Baltimore’s dumb idea about food inspections - (Health Inspections.com)
May 16, 2008 – 11:02 pmIt’s hard to imagine this idea was even dreamed-up by adults.
The health department in Baltimore wants clean restaurants to display a “clean crab” to show that they have done well on inspections.
Yet, like so many cities, Baltimore won’t display a letter-grade, or a copy of the actual inspection for customers to read. Baltimore’s inspection results aren’t even available online.
