FROM: Nancy Fanden Contra
Costa
Introduced July 12, 1988 for consideration on County
DATE: July 19, 1988 Y
SUBJECT: Restaurant Sanitation Merit Grading System
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION: That the Environmental Health Officer
review and report to the Board as to the possibility of
establishing a posted restaurant sanitation grading system
for Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND: Because restaurant users are unable in
most cases to observe sanitary conditions in restaurant
kitchens, or know if sanitation violations exist, a method
. of accountability would be beneficial.
San Diego has had a restaurant sanitation letter grading
system for a number of years. A point system is used and
points are converted to letter grades, an "A" of course
being the highest rating. Restaurants are required to post
~:; ty their 'grade' alongside the entrance.
This system provides an incentive for restaurants to
achieve and maintain high sanitation standards.
