Oregon’s Department of Agriculture routinely sends inspectors in to grocery stores statewide to see whether the raw chicken is cold enough, the roasted chicken hot enough and the butcher knives clean enough.

Now you can find the results easily online. The new searchable grocery inspections database from The Oregonian/OregonLive includes a scoring system, allowing you to compare the severity of violations at one store with those at other stores statewide. Point values for each violation are based on the Oregon Retail Food Code.

SEARCH THE DATABASE

The agriculture department has promised monthly updates to the data, so check back again next month for new results.

If you can’t find your store in the database, try using only part of the store’s name without a street address. If it’s still not there, then please do let us know by emailing the newsroom’s data team: data@oregonian.com. We’d also love to hear if you have other ideas for consumer databases you think we should publish.

Interested in how restaurants do on health inspections? We have these results in a separate database, with results for Multnomah and Clackamas counties available. Note that the scoring system is different than for grocery stores. More counties in the Portland area will be added as we get them.
