The Joplin Globe publishes summaries of routine and follow-up inspections performed by the Joplin Health Department. The companies inspected pass or fail depending on the violations found at the time of the inspection. These violations fall into two categories:
• Priority violations are more serious and relate to improper handling, storage and preparation of food. The Globe lists the number and summary of each violation.
• Basic violations are less serious and relate to equipment, maintenance and general cleanliness. The Globe only publishes the number.
A failed inspection can result in various corrections depending on the types of violations found. Full copies of each report are available from the Joplin Health Department.
