Who inspects restaurants in Pennsylvania

Allegheny County Health Department placard results, and Montgomery County Health Department and Philadelphia Department of Public Health violation counts.

Coverage: all 67 counties, partial list. All sources

The other counties: Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture retail food inspections (pafoodsafety.pa.gov), including local health departments that report to it, and the Bucks County Department of Health (bucks-pa.healthinspections.us). Pennsylvania doesn't publish letter grades, so GradeLocal works out the letter from the violations on the latest inspection: 0 is an A, 1 to 2 is a B, 3 to 5 is a C, and 6 or more is a D. Public records; neither site posts terms of use. Partial list: Erie and Delaware counties and some city health departments have few records so far.

What Pennsylvania publishes

The agencies behind our Pennsylvania listings publish rating words or placards and violation counts. None of them publish a score out of 100, so every Pennsylvania score on GradeLocal is a GradeLocal score, worked out from the official result.

How GradeLocal grades Pennsylvania restaurants

Rating words and placards are translated into a GradeLocal letter. The table below shows how the most common results were translated.

For violation counts, we count every violation in the latest inspection. None is an A, 1 or 2 is a B, 3 to 5 is a C, and 6 or more is a D. An emergency closure order is also a D.

Results with no score of their own get a set score for each letter: A is 95, B is 85, C is 72 and D is 50.

There are four letters, A to D, with no F. The same rule applies in every state, and the cutoffs are never adjusted for a state, county or city. We always use the latest inspection.
