What does all this terminology used in Florida restaurant inspections mean?

Fundamental violations are those considered contrary to best practices.

A warning is issued after an inspector documents violations that must be corrected by a certain date or within a specified number of days from receipt of the inspection report.

A administrative complaint is a form of legal action brought by the division. Insufficient compliance following a warning, repeated violations, or the existence of serious conditions warranting immediate action may result in the division filing an administrative complaint against the facility. The division’s website states: “It is important to correct violations, but sanctions may still result from corrected violations after the warning period has expired.” »

A emergency order — when a restaurant is closed by the inspector — is based on an immediate threat to the public. Here, the Director of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants has determined that the establishment must cease operations and any division license is suspended to protect the health, safety or welfare of the public.

A 24-hour recall inspection will be conducted following an emergency closure or permit suspension.
