Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a Curtis Park doughnut shop after finding dozens of German cockroaches, including one crawling into the space behind the standing mixer.<\/p>\n
What do these inspections mean?<\/p>\n
While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination<\/a>.<\/p>\n In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant or dining facility passed inspection.<\/p>\n The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee.<\/p>\n Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Sept. 3, through Wednesday, Sept. 9.
