On the Record 3

Listed here are the restaurant health

inspections conducted by the Springfield-Greene County Health Department. Restaurants are inspected for critical and noncritical violations of state standards. According to the Springfield-Greene County inspection code, critical violations are “more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination, illness and/or injury.” And noncritical

violations, “although important to the overall food hygiene of the establishment, do not

necessarily present an immediate threat to food contamination, illness and/or injury.” The

number of both critical and noncritical violations are given and specific critical violations are listed. *Denotes a critical violation.
