The state Department of Agriculture conducts annual inspections of food establishments to ensure public safety and safe food handling. Schools are inspected twice a year, according to the Bureau of Food Safety and Laboratories.

Whether a facility is considered compliant or non-compliant is at the discretion of the auditor.

However, there are several violations that inspectors must automatically assume that establishments are not in compliance. These include “critical violations” such as food temperature issues, employee hygiene, and chemical and handling issues.
