In New York, the State Department of Health's Bureau of Community Environmental Health and Food Protection “works to protect the public health by assuring that food service establishments are operated in a manner that eliminates hazards through design and management, resulting in a decreased incidence of foodborne illness in our communities,” according to the agency’s website.

Across more than 90,000 food service establishments statewide, the bureau’s “Food Protection Program” guides county and city health officials who permit and inspect food service establishments, the agency says.

The bureau maintains Part 14 of the New York State Sanitary Code, including subpart 14-1 which regulates food service establishments. See this subsection for specifics on inspections.

For restauranteurs, context for what constitutes a critical violation is imperative. For example, a single cracked egg on a flat of eggs in the walkthrough at Rye Roadhouse yielded a critical violation—an oversight that owners say the eatery has addressed. Rye Roadhouse received zero critical violations at its most recent inspection, on Dec. 30.
