Comments/Details

Dear Permit Holder:

An inspector for the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) has been unable to access your Mobile Food Establishment, to conduct an inspection. The inspector has also made attempts to contact you by phone and/or email to determine when and where the Mobile Food Establishment will be in operation so they may conduct an inspection. At this time, you have failed to return their phone calls or respond to their emails and have not allowed them access to inspect fully your Mobile Food Establishment. Please be advised that Chapter I of the Maricopa County Environmental Health Code states:

REGULATION 3. Responsibilities – Right of Inspection

b. No person shall refuse to allow the Department to inspect fully any and all premises or facilities at any reasonable time, and no person shall molest or resist the Department in the discharge of its duties whether in inspections for application approval or for the enforcement of this Environmental Health Code.
REGULATION 7. Suspension and Revocation of Permits

b. Revocation of Permit:

(1) The Environmental Health Officer may, after providing opportunity for hearing, revoke a permit for serious or repeated violations of any of the requirements of this Code or for interference with the regulatory authority in the performance of duty.

Failure to provide MCESD with the information for operating days and times as well as allowing a representative of MCESD access to the Mobile Food Establishment to conduct an inspection may result in legal action being taken against the establishment’s operating permit.

Please contact the Department at 602.506.6824 to inform us of the days and times and location for which you will be in operation so that an inspection of the Mobile Food Establishment can be conducted within 10 calendar days from date of this letter.

If you do not contact the Department within 10 calendar days, your operating permit will be closed out.

"A" for Food Safety

Through our grading system, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department provides at-a-glance indications of how food establishments perform during food safety inspections. This system is designed to grade food establishments in terms of food safety requirements and provide recognition to those who choose to participate.

How does it work?

The issuance of grade cards to food establishments is based on voluntary participation. The person in charge, who is present during the inspection, will be asked whether they would like to participate in the Grading System. This will be decided prior to each inspection. If an establishment does not participate in the Grading System, Not Participating or NP will appear on the inspection report, and the inspection will still occur. If an establishment does participate, a grade of A, B, C, or D will be determined at the conclusion of the inspection using the Grading System chart below. Participating establishments will then be provided with a grade card that can be posted in the establishment. The status of the establishment’s grade will also appear on the Restaurant Ratings page of the department’s website.

How can I determine the grade?

The Grading System chart can be used to determine grades earned for establishments that do not participate. Grades are determined by the number of Priority and Priority Foundation violations received at the time of inspection. Violation types are defined in general terms below.

Definitions

Priority Violation: Major violation that directly contributes to increasing the risk of foodborne illness or injury (e.g. Food employees do not properly wash hands when required).
Priority Foundation Violation: Minor violation that does not directly contribute to an increased risk of foodborne illness but failure to correct this violation may lead to the occurrence of a priority violation. For example, hand washing soap and paper towels not available at hand wash sink (may lead directly to food employees not properly washing hands when required).
Core Violation: Minor violation that relates to general maintenance and sanitation (e.g. No sign reminding employees to wash hands).
Cutting Edge Program: All county food-related establishments can partner with Maricopa County to implement a proactive approach to reducing foodborne illness risk factors by implementing food safety systems that include policies, training, and verification processes. Partners enrolled in the Cutting Edge Program receive an A+ when an A is earned.

Grading System The matrix below is used to grade food inspections under the voluntary grading system.
Violation Category	Grade A	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade B	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade C	Grade D	Grade D
