The types of inspections included under Food Sanitation are:

How often are establishments inspected?

Frequency of inspections is determined by a public health priority based on the Food Establishment Public Health Priority Assessment Worksheet.  Every establishment in the county is scored on this assessment sheet and assigned a risk category of High, Medium, or Low Priority.

• High Priority establishments are inspected at least once every four months.
• Medium Priority establishments are inspected at least once every six months.
• Low Priority establishments are inspected at least once every twelve months

Additional inspections, field visits or monitoring of food establishments may take place due to inspection history, repeated or uncorrected violations, changes in the establishment service and/or product, change of ownership, public complaints, food borne illness investigation, and food or equipment recalls.

* Mobile/Temporary Food Stands are defined as portable not permanent food stand establishments.  These are most commonly seen at special events such as fairs, carnivals, and other special events.  These establishments are inspected per event and may be inspected several times in one year.  This does not routinely include church or other social events that are serving less than three days.  Situations may vary and establishments may require inspection even though the event is only 1 day. Guidelines available at Butler County Health Department.
