Score Definition ×

The score is separate from the placard color and is an indication of the facility’s overall compliance with the California Retail Food Code, Health and Safety Code, Division 104, Part 7. The score is calculated based on the number of violation categories observed during the inspection.



Each violation category is pre-assigned with points based on its public health significance: Major (8 points), Moderate (3 points), and Minor (2 points). These points will be deducted from a perfect score of 100.



N/A – NOT AVAILABLE. A score was not issued with the inspection activity or inspection activity was performed prior the placarding program. Scores are only associated with routine inspections.
