Introduction to Perfect Inspections
The number of squeaky-clean eateries across South Florida took a dip last month, with the state posting its lowest count of flawless inspections since June 2023.
In May, 61 “gold-star” restaurants and food trucks made the list of perfect inspections because not one violation — minor, intermediate or high-priority — was red-flagged at the time of the surprise visit from Florida safety and sanitation inspectors. Inspections typically take place at random every six months to a year.
