Hartford Health and Human Services Department inspects food establishments under Connecticut Public Health Code §19-13-B42, assigning Class I-IV risk categories with inspection frequencies based on food handling complexity and posting summaries for public review.
Hartford Department of Health and Human Services conducts routine food establishment inspections under CT Public Health Code §19-13-B42 and FDA Food Code adopted statewide in 2018. Operators receive Class I (low risk) through Class IV (high risk) designations, dictating inspection frequency from annually to four times yearly. Inspectors check temperature controls, cross-contamination, employee hygiene, and certified food protection manager presence. Hartford does not use letter grades like NYC; instead, inspection reports are public and available through the Health Department. Critical violations require immediate correction or follow-up reinspection within ten days.
Critical violations trigger reinspection fees and possible permit suspension; repeat or imminent health hazards may close the establishment until corrected.
