Redding Restaurant Scores: How Did Your Favorite Eatery Fare?

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 Redding, Weston, Easton 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.”

The Redding Health Department said the most common causes of food poisoning are as follows:

• Inadequate cooling and cold holding
• Preparing food too far ahead of service
• Poor personal hygiene and infected personnel
• Inadequate reheating
• Inadequate hot holding
