Detailed Look at the Grading System
The grading system implemented by the Mississippi Department of Health focuses on the identification and resolution of critical violations. An “A” signifies that no such violations were discovered. An establishment with a “B” grade had some violations, but they were rectified during the inspection under the guidance of inspection personnel. A “C” grade means the establishment had some critical violations which were not rectified within the inspection period. These establishments are bound to be re-inspected and rectifications must be made within a stipulated period of ten days.
