Where the records come from

Places covered

Pick a place to see how each fast-food chain’s restaurants there did on routine health inspections, next to every other restaurant in the same place. We cover 4 so far.

The United States has no national inspection database. Each state, county or city runs its own programme, counts different things and publishes its own way, so every place gets its own page and its figures are never mixed with another’s. A place is added when its government publishes every routine inspection, keeps the file current and allows reuse.
