How often will the food service areas be inspected?

The food service areas are inspected weekly to ensure compliance with health standards and regulations. Regular inspections are critical for maintaining food safety, hygiene, and overall quality of service. Weekly inspections allow staff to identify and address any potential issues promptly, thereby minimizing the risk of foodborne illnesses and ensuring that the food served to inmates meets established safety standards. Routine checks also help in maintaining the equipment and cleanliness of the food preparation areas, which are essential for operational efficiency and compliance with health codes. This frequency strikes a balance between thorough oversight and practical scheduling, supporting the goal of providing safe and nutritious meals in a detention setting.
