FOOD SERVICE INSPECTION ORDINANCE

 

Recommendation:

That the City Council introduce the attached Food Service Inspection Ordinance.

 

Background:

The Los Angeles County Health Department initiated the Food Service Grading Program in 1998. All restaurants and other food service businesses have been inspected on a routine basis. The program provided each business with a letter grade to post, countywide. The program has been changed, in that businesses located in cities that have not adopted the ordinance will no longer receive the letter grade to post. If the ordinance is adopted, businesses will receive the letter grade and will be required to post. The reason for the change at the County level was that businesses receiving less than an "A" grade did not post the grade in cities that had not adopted the ordinance.
