Rhode Island food safety inspections go online

Rhode Island food safety inspection reports done since Jan. 1 are now available to the public online, the state Health Department announced today.

Go to http://www.health.ri.gov/environment/food/inspections.php.

The Web site cautions visitors there may be a wait due to a large numrber of requests.

People may search the online inspection database to see past inspections or create an account that lets them select individual eateries for which they want to get future inspection reports -- restaurants, school lunch programs, for example.

When inspections are done in the selected eatery, an e-mail will automatically be sent with a link to the inspection report.

The online inspection reports are related to a new food safety certification program, in which the Health Department will partner with NSF International, a company that writes standards for food, water and consumer goods, according to the NSF Web site, to recognize restaurants and other eating establishments that have best food safety, workplace safety, and sanitation practices in place.
