Unsatisfactory Inspections of Institutional Food Service Operations

The percentage of institutional food service operations facility inspections marked as “Unsatisfactory”.

The Florida Department of Health works with food service establishments as defined by section 381.0072, Florida Statutes (F.S.) to help ensure their products are not a source of foodborne illness. Over 11,000 institutional food service operations are regulated and inspected by the Florida Department of Health to assure they are operated in a safe and sanitary manner. Generally, this includes food service operations located in institutional settings (such as schools, assisted living facilities, detention facilities and adult day care facilities), civic and fraternal organizations, bars and lounges that do not prepare food and theaters that limit their food service to items customarily served at theaters (such as beverages, popcorn, hot dogs and nachos). Other food establishments such as restaurants are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) or the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

In 2023, the percentage of Unsatisfactory Inspections of Institutional Food Service Operations in Alachua County was 3.1 compared to Florida at 8.6. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.

Data Note(s)

FLHealthCHARTS.gov is provided by the Florida Department of Health, Division of Public Health Statistics and Performance Management.

Data Source: Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Environmental Health

Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.
Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.
Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.
MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.
Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.
Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.
* - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.

These data show the total number of unsatisfactory inspections divided by the total number of inspections performed during indicated time period, with the results expressed as a percentage.
This is secondary, quantitative data.
