The Food Establishment Inspection Report is a weekly report that appears Sundays. Information is taken from reports provided by the Environmental Health Department, and individual reports can be viewed at its website, http://amarillo.gov/departments/community-services/environmental-health/food-inspections.

            100 points – No major violation at the time of inspection

            85 points – Considered an average score

            70 points or below – Requires re-inspection within 24 hours
