Florida publishes dated inspection dispositions and counts of high-priority, intermediate and basic violations, without a state letter grade or numeric score. These public records were redistributed by Eat Safely In Florida. Our inspection-visit capture is complete within that publisher’s export; the individual finding-text capture is partial. Read reported counts separately from the text entries shown. A historical disposition does not establish today’s conditions.
