The Peoria City/County Health Department’s Food Inspections page links its public inspection search. Start with the establishment name and physical address, then read the inspection type and date of each matching entry. A Routine inspection, Administrative Follow-Up, and License Reinstatement are different kinds of events. One should not stand in for another.
Peoria explicitly says it gives no score. The public list’s counts are not a percentage, letter grade, or present-day safety rating. A dated inspection records what the department documented for that visit; it does not guarantee current food safety.
Find the right entry and open Details
The agency-linked View Inspections table offers filters for establishment name or number, address, city, ZIP code, establishment type, risk category, inspection date range, and inspection type. It also offers a Routine-only choice. Match the complete address and establishment type before drawing a conclusion from a name match.
Each visible row has an event date and type, establishment type, and separate columns for Repeat Violations, Risk Factor Interventions, and Non-Compliant Good Retail Practices. The table offers separate Full Report and Details links. Use Details to read the on-page violation text, and treat Full Report as a separate document. A blank count in a list cannot establish what an unopened report contains.
Peoria’s program page explains that a facility’s Category I, II, or III risk assessment generally leads to three, two, or one routine inspections per year, respectively. That category describes inspection frequency, not the outcome of the visit. The department separates Foodborne Illness Risk Factors from Good Retail Practices and classifies violations as Priority, Priority Foundation, or Core. Its public count columns are different measurements; do not add them together to invent a score. The site’s violation-reading guide helps keep the cited item and later correction on their own dates.
Read a routine finding before its follow-up
A Routine Details page can identify the establishment by name, type, address, and county, then show the inspection date and comments. The checked violation area used Violation Code, Description, and Comments columns. Tie each finding and explanation to that visit before comparing a later entry. Peoria’s own program page says not to look for a numeric score.
Use the table as an index, then ask three questions of the dated Details text: What did the inspector cite? What correction or later action did the comments describe? Is there a later event for the same establishment and address? A deadline or proposed follow-up is not evidence the correction happened. Keep the original report in the sequence even if a later entry records progress.
| Entry or field | Reader decision |
|---|---|
| Routine Details | Read the cited code, description, and comments for that date. |
| Administrative Follow-Up Details | Identify the specific correction reviewed; do not assume another site visit. |
| License Reinstatement entry | Seek the notice or action confirming the suspended license was restored. |
Distinguish document review from a site visit
Peoria’s Food Safety Enforcement Procedures, amended and adopted November 11, 2022 and implemented January 1, 2023, defines Administrative Follow-Up as verifying a correction without visiting the establishment. The procedure allows department-approved documentation, including certain repair records, photographs, or receipts, and says supporting material is attached to the administrative record. Read the particular Details comments to learn what was reviewed; the event label alone does not identify the earlier violation.
An Administrative Follow-Up can address a narrow correction. In the checked example, the comments recorded a limited administrative decision while leaving an equipment restriction in place; the department said a later site inspection would be needed before lifting it. Read the specific comments and any later report. A blank violation area in an administrative event does not erase an earlier Routine finding or prove whole-facility clearance.
The same published procedure treats a license suspension and reinstatement as separate actions. It says the suspension remains until cited conditions are resolved and the Health Authority confirms that through a follow-up inspection and other appropriate means; when it reinstates the license, it provides a notice. A list row labeled License Reinstatement is a useful lead, but obtain the dated suspension, follow-up, and reinstatement notice before stating when operations were authorized to resume. The site’s closure and permit-suspension guide explains why those action records matter.
Request a missing action record
The department’s FOIA page says food-safety inspection reports can be reviewed online without a FOIA request. It also provides a request route for other records. If a dated Details view does not answer a closure, embargo, or reinstatement question, identify the establishment and address, relevant visit dates, and the specific order, supporting follow-up, or notice needed. If an action document is missing, leave that status unresolved rather than labeling the business closed or reopened from one row.
Official routes were checked September 27, 2026. Confirm the latest record and any later action for the exact establishment before relying on an older inspection.
