The data above comes from Food Service Inspections performed by Cattaraugus County Health Department - Environmental Health staff.

These inpsections are performed at different intervals dependent upon characteristics of the facility / operation. In interpreting the data above, it should be noted that "all violations are not created equal." 

• Critical or "RED" violations are generally more serious and may have the potential to cause food-borne illness.
• Non-critical violations or "BLUE" violations are not as serious and generally have little or no potential to cause food-borne illness. 

The table shows the inspection results for the most recent inspection. It should be noted that each inspection is a "snapshot in time" and may not represent the conditions at a facility / operation at any other time. 

The easiest way to view the results of the most recent inspection is to click on the number in the left-most column for the facility / operation you wish to view. Upon clicking a window will appear at the bottom of the table with the inspection results.
