The city’s newest restaurants wowed health inspectors in the first round of food inspections in Maricopa in over a month.
Inspectors last week awarded all four stops on the Maricopa tour “excellent.”
Bosa Donuts and Nando’s Mexican Café, which both opened last month, were visited Friday, according to Pinal County Health Department.
Inspectors inspected Starbucks, 21423 N. John Wayne Pkwy., for the first time since it finished remodeling the store last month.
Health inspectors also visited the 99 Cents Only store Tuesday likely for the last time — the Commerce, Calif., chain announced last week it will shutter all stores including the Maricopa location permanently by summer.
What do the ratings mean?
Excellent: All priority standards are observed as compliant.
Satisfactory: One or more priority standards is out of compliance. All priority standards are corrected at the time of inspection.
Needs improvement: One or more priority standards is out of compliance. At least one violation is not corrected at the time of inspection. When violations are corrected to the satisfaction of the department during a follow-up inspection, a satisfactory rating will be given.
Unacceptable: One or more violations observed are an “imminent health hazard.” Hazards include the misuse of poisonous or toxic materials, onset of an apparent foodborne illness outbreak and unsanitary conditions that may endanger public health. Hazards can stem from fires, floods, electrical or water problems, and sewage backup. When violations are corrected to the satisfaction of the department during a follow-up inspection, a satisfactory rating will be given.
