The following definitions and inspection criteria are reproduced verbatim from official Douglas County Health Department public records.

Inspection Criteria

Ratings are based on a standardized statewide inspection system. Items of greatest importance include: safe food source and storage, proper food temperature control, employee health and personal hygiene practices, cleaning and sanitation practices, facility and equipment design, construction and maintenance, insect and pest control, lighting, ventilation, water supply, handling and storage of utensils, and waste disposal.

Rating Definitions

Superior
The establishment understands and routinely corrects sanitation deficiencies on a day-to-day basis and does not wait for a health inspection before doing so. In addition, at least 75 percent of employees and management of a superior food establishment must have successfully completed a food safety training course conducted by this department, or its equivalent.
Excellent
The establishment routinely corrects most sanitation deficiencies and immediately corrects the minor violations found at the time of inspection.
Standard
The establishment generally corrects most sanitation deficiencies on a routine basis and corrects violations found at the time of inspection in the time allowed by the inspecting health officer.
Fair
The establishment barely meets the minimum standards required by state and local food safety codes. Serious and minor sanitation deficiencies are found on each inspection. Sanitation deficiencies are not corrected on a routine basis and repeat inspections are often a necessary part of regulating these establishments to help assure minimum food safety conditions.
BMS
This establishment is Below Minimum Standards and has been CLOSED due to the Eminent Public Health Risk found during an Inspection or Complaint.
