CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (Chambana Today) — The Champaign-Urbana Public Health Department conducts routine inspections on restaurants and kitchens across the city. It was a more inactive week for the department, as it conducted just two inspections, both resulting in green placards.
Here’s a look at all of the inspections from the past week:
GREEN
- SGD, 707 South Sixth Street Suite 105, Champaign, IL. Inspected December 12
- Sushi Man, 2028 North Prospect Avenue, Champaign, IL. Inspected December 12
The inspection at SGD was a follow-up inspection following a Yellow placard being assessed during a routine inspection on December 2.
- The follow-up inspection found that previous violations of food contact surfaces not being cean were corrected, and that the restaurant kept cleaning logs for dishware, utensils, and other food contact surfaces.
The inspection at Sushi Man was a follow-up inspection following a Yellow placard being assessed during a Reinspection that took place on November 26, which came after a Red placard was posted following a routine inspection on November 7.
- The follow-up inspection verified that all violations from the routine inspection were corrected, and that the establishment’s food safety management plan was proven to be effective when followed.
YELLOW
- None
RED
- None
What do the ratings mean?
Following an inspection, all businesses serving food in Champaign-Urbana are required to post placards displaying their grades in a location clearly visible to the public. The meaning of the grades are as follows:
- A green grade means that “the food establishment was found to be in satisfactory compliance with the ordinance and applicable rules and regulations.”
- A yellow grade denotes “less than satisfactory compliance.” Following posting of a yellow placard, businesses have the opportunity to improve compliance, with a follow-up inspection required to verify improvement to a satisfactory level.
- A red grade means the establishment is “out of compliance with the ordinance and applicable rules and regulations to the extent that it poses an immediate threat to public health, or a failure to act, resulting in health permit suspension (e.g., did not pay health permit fee).”
