Do you know how clean your supermarket is?

GoLocalProv reviewed hundreds of inspections conducted by the Rhode Island Department of Health over the past three years to come up with a list of the state's chain supermarkets with the most violations. SEE SLIDES BELOW

Who's Inspecting?

"We have 17 food inspectors at present and we will soon be interviewing to fill two vacancies. There are some inspectors who specialize in milk, shellfish and food processing inspections," said Joseph Wendelken with the Rhode Island Department of Health. "Most of the inspectors inspect retail food establishments (restaurants, markets, schools, caterers, etc.)."

Major Violations vs Minor

"The first 27 items on the inspection form would be considered major or critical violations," said Wendelken.

GoLocal ranked retailers for total number of violations found during inspections over the three years, and also included as a sub-category which of those constituted major violations.
