WASHINGTON: Health district restaurant inspection results now online - (Yakima Herald-Republic)
July 31, 2008 – 5:40 pmYAKIMA — The Yakima Health District is now posting results of restaurant inspections on its Web site.
Jared Keefer, an environmental health specialist with the district, told the board Wednesday at its monthly meeting that the information is part of a larger plan to make health information more readily available to the community.
The results describe what the inspector observed at the time and don’t guarantee that those conditions are present at all times.
All eating establishments, including grocery and convenience store delis, are inspected at least once a year and more frequently depending on their history of compliance, Keefer said.
“If we get complaints we inspect more frequently,” he said.
The information is updated monthly.
The site is at www.co.yakima.wa.us/health/eh/fsfhc.htm
