5 receive ‘excellent’ ratings

Food inspectors visited two restaurants, two schools and a food bank this month. None prepped food short of perfect. 

Pinal County Environmental Health Department inspectors visited Leading Edge Academy and Legacy Traditional School Nov. 5. Then three days later, they visited Gyro Grill and Roots Eatery.  

Inspectors returned to town this week and visited F.O.R. Maricopa food bank on Tuesday. 

No violations were found at any of the five locations, which were all rated “excellent.” 

 

What do the ratings mean?     

Excellent: All priority standards are observed as compliant.             

Satisfactory: One or more priority standards is out of compliance. All priority standards are corrected at the time of inspection.                

Needs improvement: One or more priority standards is out of compliance. At least one violation is not corrected at the time of inspection. When violations are corrected to the satisfaction of the department during a follow-up inspection, a satisfactory rating will be given.                

Unacceptable: One or more violations observed are an “imminent health hazard.” Hazards include the misuse of poisonous or toxic materials, onset of an apparent foodborne illness outbreak and unsanitary conditions that may endanger public health. Hazards can stem from fires, floods, electrical or water problems, and sewage backup. When violations are corrected to the satisfaction of the department during a follow-up inspection, a satisfactory rating will be given.
