The Harford County Health Department inspects restaurants and other food service facilities to routinely monitor food handling practices, and sanitary and physical conditions. Depending on the type of food service offered by the facility, routine random inspections are conducted up to three times a year. Complaints and food borne illness outbreak investigations prompt additional inspections.
Inspectors (Environmental Sanitarians) closely evaluate nine critical food safety items which most often contribute to foodborne illness. Critical Items are food safety requirements which must be followed to reduce the incidence of food-related illness and injury. If a critical food safety violation is discovered, it must be corrected immediately or the facility is closed until the violation is corrected.
In addition to the Critical Items, environmental sanitarians also evaluate food service facilities for general food handling and facility maintenance, or Good Retail Practices (GRP’s). GRP’s are preventative measures to control the introduction of pathogens, chemicals, and physical objects into foods. Facilities found in violation of GRP’s are not routinely closed. Instead, compliance within 30 days, or within a timeframe specified in a written compliance schedule, is required. A reinspection is typically scheduled to verify that corrections have been made.
Currently, the Harford County Health Department licenses and inspects a total of 1,893 food service facilities (936 permanent food service facilities and 957 temporary food service facilities).
