Dozens of rodent droppings: what else was found at this Rancho Cordova business?
Sacramento County health inspectors closed three eateries including a Rancho Cordova warehouse after discovering 68 rodent droppings throughout the facility.
What do these inspections mean?
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 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.
In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection.
The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee.
Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said.
These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, May 21, through Wednesday, May 27, as of Thursday, May 28. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com.
How to report a business to the health department
For readers who would like to report a local restaurant, food truck or cafe on health violations, they can do so by filing a complaint to the facility’s local environmental health departments.
The local health department is responsible for the initial investigation of consumer complaints regarding foods served or sold at retail food facilities, according to the California Department of Public Health.
