How Inspections Work

Understanding NYC School Cafeteria Inspections

NYC DOHMH inspects public school cafeterias annually under the same food safety standards used for commercial restaurants. Here's what they check.

🌡️

Food Temperature

Inspectors verify that hot foods are held above 140°F and cold foods below 41°F to prevent bacterial growth.

🐜

Pest Control

Evidence of insects, rodents, or birds triggers critical violations. Schools must have regular pest management programs in place.

🧼

Personal Hygiene

Proper handwashing procedures, glove use, and worker health policies are all inspected and graded.

📦

Food Storage

Inspectors check that food is stored off the floor, labeled, covered, and protected from contamination at all times.
