Springfield - Greene County Health Department

The health department divides food service code violations into two categories -- critical and noncritical.

Critical violations are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination, illness and/or injury.

Noncritical violations, although important to the overall food hygiene of the establishment, do not necessarily present an immediate threat to food contamination, illness and/or injury.

A report for each establishment that is inspected shows the number of critical violations, along with a short statement as to the nature of each violation and what should be done to correct it. The report also shows the number of noncritical violations but doesn't list the nature of those violations.
