Kitsap Public Health inspects more than 1,300 food establishments in Kitsap County. Our inspectors check for unsafe food handling practices that could make people sick. Examples of violations we look for include:
Improper food temperatures
Sick food workers
Cross-contamination
Poor handwashing
Touching ready-to-eat food with bare hands
Inspections are a snapshot in time. What occurs during an inspection today may be different than what occurs in the establishment tomorrow.
Critical food safety issues are fixed immediately, and we follow-up on the violations in some cases. We write a report summarizing the results of each inspection. Each report has a total score based on the number and types of violations noted.
Food Safety Inspection Signs
Starting July 2025, all permanent food service establishments in Kitsap County (such as restaurants, grocery stores, and food trucks) will be required to post new food safety inspection signs in places where customers can easily see them (like front doors/windows).
Note: It will take time for food establishments to receive and post the new signs. All establishments should have signs within a few weeks after the start of the program.
What do the sign ratings mean?
The new signs will display ratings — Best, Great, Okay, or Needs to Improve - based on the average score from the last two years of food safety inspections.
Best: No violations observed (100% average score)
Great: A few violations observed
Okay: A number of violations observed
Needs to improve: Establishment is on probation
Businesses that have not yet received a food safety inspection will post a sign that says, "We are still new."
Temporary food establishments, such as vendors at fairs and festivals, are inspected by Kitsap Public Health but not required to post the new inspection signs.
Where will the new signs be posted?
Signs must be posted in food establishments where customers can easily see them before they order food. Examples include:
The front door
The sales counter
The drive-through window
