health code
Restaurant inspection rules
Health code refers to regulations governing sanitary conditions in food service, lodging, and other public establishments.
Health codes set standards for food handling, storage temperatures, pest control, and cleanliness.
Violations can result in fines or closure: The restaurant was shut down for health code violations.
Health inspectors enforce these codes through regular inspections.
