Riverside County Department of Environmental Health inspects food facilities and posts color-coded placards (green pass, yellow conditional, red closure) at the entrance after every routine and follow-up inspection.
Under the California Retail Food Code (Health and Safety Code section 113700 et seq.) and county implementing rules, Riverside County Environmental Health inspects restaurants, mobile food units, and markets at least twice annually. Inspectors use a risk-based system and post a green Pass, yellow Conditional Pass, or red Closed placard at the entrance, depending on violation severity. Major violations include improper holding temperatures, vermin, and lack of handwashing access. Operators may request a re-inspection after correcting issues. Reports are publicly searchable on the county database.
Removing or covering placard, ignoring closure: misdemeanor, daily fines, permit suspension, and emergency closure for imminent health hazards.
