The frequency of inspection is based on each establishment’s
potential "risk." The "risk" is based upon the previous inspection
score average, number of critical or dangerous violations per inspection, type of food
preparation and volume of customers. Unannounced scoring inspections are conducted from
one to four times per year based on the calculated "risk" of the establishment.
