Virginia Beach Health Department inspects restaurants under Virginia Department of Health rules; results are posted online but the city does not assign letter grades like A, B, or C.
The Virginia Beach Health Department, a city-county-style office of the Virginia Department of Health, inspects food establishments under the Virginia Food Regulations 12VAC5-421 (Virginia Code §35.1-14). Inspectors evaluate temperatures, sanitation, cross-contamination, and certified food protection manager status during routine and complaint-based visits. Reports are published in VDH's online inspection database. Virginia Beach does not display letter grades or score placards in restaurant windows; instead inspection results are searchable by establishment name, with risk factors and corrective actions documented for each visit.
Critical foodborne-illness violations can result in immediate suspension of permit, mandatory corrective action plans, and reinspection fees. Repeat violations may trigger administrative hearings and permit revocation.
