    Which agency inspects restaurants in Florida?

    Routine regulation and inspection of restaurants is conducted by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The Department of Health is responsible for investigating and controlling foodborne illness outbreaks at all food establishments.

    How do I report a dirty restaurant in Florida?

    If you find violations of state standards, report them and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation will dispatch inspectors. Call the Florida DBPR at 850-487-1395 or report a restaurant for health violations online.

    Find out the full story in our restaurant inspection database.

    What does all this terminology mean when it comes to restaurant inspections in Florida?

    Basic violations are those that are considered in comparison to best practices.

    A warning is issued after an inspector documents violations that must be corrected by a specified date or within a specified number of days after receipt of the inspection report.

    A Administrative complaint is a form of legal action taken by the department. Inadequate compliance following a warning, a series of repeated violations, or the existence of serious circumstances requiring immediate action may result in the department initiating an administrative complaint against the facility. The department’s website says: “Correcting violations is important, but penalties may still apply for violations that are corrected after the warning period has expired.”

    A Emergency order – when a restaurant is closed by the inspector – is based on an imminent danger to the public. Here, the Director of the Department of Hotels and Restaurants has determined that the establishment must cease operations and any license for the department is suspended in order to protect the health, safety or welfare of the public.

    A 24-hour recall inspection will be conducted following an emergency closure or license suspension.
