2006 Health Ratings - Omaha, NE @ GFC

It's the new year and everyone is doing "The Year In Review" lists. So to keep with the trend, but to give you that GFC twist, I give to you a bit of a different list. The following is a list of places you may want to seek out or avoid based on the Douglas County Food Facility Sanitation Ratings.

I'm not really surprised at the ratio of the two lists, but I am disappointed to see so few restaurants on this first list. I'm disappointed to see Grand Fortune on the bottom list, though I can't say I'm surprised. And I'm a bit beyond surprised to see Wohlner's Grocery on the bottom list.

Have a happy and healthy new year!

*** UPDATE ***
Read more about some of the restaurants on this list and past years' lists. Also check out the 2007 and the 2008 Health Ratings - Omaha, NE.

EXCELLENT RATINGS MEAN THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT UNDERSTANDS AND ROUTINELY CORRECTS SANITATION DEFICIENCIES ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS AND DOES NOT WAIT FOR A HEALTH INSPECTION BEFORE DOING SO. IN ADDITION, AT LEAST 75 PERCENT OF THE EMPLOYEES AND MANAGEMENT OF AN EXCELLENT FOOD ESTABLISHMENT MUST HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A FOOD HANDLER'S TRAINING COURSE GIVEN BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

EXCELLENT-GOOD RATINGS MEAN THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT ROUTINELY CORRECTS MOST SANITATION DEFICIENCIES AND IMMEDIATELY CORRECTS THE MINOR VIOLATIONS FOUND AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION.

GOOD RATINGS MEAN THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT GENERALLY CORRECTS MOST SANITATION DEFICIENCIES ON A ROUTINE BASIS AND CORRECTS VIOLATIONS FOUND AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION IN THE TIME ALLOWED BY THE INSPECTING HEALTH OFFICER.

GOOD-FAIR RATINGS MEAN THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT JUST MEETS MINIMUM STANDARDS REQUIRED BY STATE AND LOCAL FOOD SAFETY CODES. SERIOUS AND MINOR SANITATION DEFICIENCIES ARE FOUND ON EACH INSPECTION. SANITATION DEFICIENCIES ARE NOT CORRECTED ON A ROUTINE BASIS AND REPEAT INSPECTIONS ARE OFTEN A NECESSARY PART OF REGULATING THESE ESTABLISHMENTS TO HELP ASSURE MINIMUM FOOD SAFETY CONDITIONS.
