Brookfield Restaurant Scores: How Did Your Favorite Eatery Rate?

How safe is the take-out or restaurant food you’re eating? Local health departments visit restaurants unannounced a few times per year to ensure customers are protected from health concerns that could make them sick.

Patch has collected a number of these scores and will be publishing them over the next several weeks for Brookfield and nearby towns.

Each restaurant is scored by the local health department using a debit system. Starting at 100 points, the restaurant is debited one to four points, depending on the violations. Four point items are of most concern while a one point debit is important, but less of a concern.

Redding Health Officer Doug Hartline told Patch: “It’s important to know that a restaurant with one four point debit receiving the score of 96 can be of more concern than a 91 score from one and two point debits. Examples of four points items are improper hot and cold holding temps, food from an improper source, ill food workers, safe water source, plumbing cross connections.”

Below are the health inspection scores for Brookfield’s restaurants and establishments that serve food items. The information is provided by the Brookfield Health Department.

According to Connecticut Department of Public Health Code, Section 19-13--B42, Class 1 establishments are inspected once a year and have “commercially prepackaged foods and/or hot or cold beverages only. No preparation, cooking or hot holding of potentially hazardous foods is included except that commercially packaged precooked foods may be heated and served in the original package within four hours.”

Class 2 establishments “have cold or ready-to-eat commercially processed food requiring no further heat treatment and/or hot or cold beverages. No cooking, heating or hot holding of potentially hazardous foods is included, except that commercially packaged precooked foods may be heated and served in the original package within four hours, and commercially precooked hot dogs, kielbasa and soup may be heated if transferred directly out of the original package and served within four hours.”

Class 3 establishments are inspected three times per year and “include hot preparation of potentially hazardous foods allowed if served to the public within four hours. Examples of Class 3 establishments include, but may not be limited to, cook and serve operations (such as diners, delicatessens, cafeterias, day care centers, and itinerant food vendors) and fast food operations.“

Class 4 establishments are inspected four times per year and “include hot preparation of potentially hazardous foods served more than four hours after heat treatment. Examples of Class 4 establishments include caterers, convalescent homes, hospitals, and restaurants.”
