Taking place between March 1 and March 31, these inspections encompassed 56 facilities, from restaurants to school cafeterias and even to bars.

Out of the 56 facilities assessed, an impressive 51 received an “A” grade, signifying no critical violations were found during inspection. There were five venues which scored a “B”, indicating they had critical violations which were corrected immediately under supervision, with no additional corrective action required. No facilities received a “C” grade, which means there weren’t any establishments where violations were found but not corrected during the inspections.

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.
