Leis said that this system would likely result in a greater number of health department inspections for eateries with full kitchens. It will also make optimal use of resources available to a health department. New regulations will alter an inspector's method of critique. The planned system notes violations, but does not give a final score of pass or fail. But a restaurant's numerical score might not accurately assess its actual risk, according to Leis.
Some violations are more critical than others.
According to Pelican, this plan better encourages restaurants to maintain and improve its food safety practices. Inspectors don't want to be the food police. This plan is progressive. It looks at the process and the product to give restaurants better feedback. They won't just look at score but at overall comments, which provides better feedback.
