Several local school cafeterias were inspected by officials from the Mississippi Department of Health in September and earned perfect scores.
Lunchrooms at East Tate Elementary, Independence High School, Senatobia Elementary, Senatobia High School, Strayhorn High School and Northwest Mississippi Community College all received “A” ratings. Subway at 116 Norfleet Drive in Senatobia also notched a top ranking.
Restaurants and other food facilities are required to display their results with a letter grade to clearly communicate the most recent health department inspection.
A, B or C rating reflects whether critical violations were found and corrected. This grading system appears in all restaurants, as well as food facilities such as school cafeterias, day care centers, and cafes and bars where food is sold.
“A” grade means the facility inspection found no critical violations. Critical violations of the state Food Code are those more likely to lead to food contamination, illness, or other health risk. “B” grade means critical violations were found but corrected under the supervision of the inspecting environmentalist. No further corrective actions are required.
