News-Register Online News for McMinnville and Yamhill County, Oregon Restaurant Inspection Data Oregon law requires county health departments to hold surprise inspections of all restaurants twice a year.
All information gathered by inspectors is a matter of public record.
Within 6 months, every restaurant in the county should be found here. The list for each month includes information about how the scores are calculated. The first number is the restaurant's overall score out of 100 possible points, with 100 being perfect, and below 70 considered failing. The second score, in the far right column, is the number of critical violations the restaurant inspector found. Critical violations are items that are associated with an increased risk of food-borne illness, such as unsafe food sources, improper storage temperatures, poor personal hygiene practices, improper chemical usage or storage, insects or rodents, or inproper sanitizing of food contact services.
