     Ten Seymour food service establishments were inspected during the month of April.
     Each of the restaurants passed inspections performed by the Tennessee Department of Health. The health department considers any score below 70 as unsanitary.
     The law requires that restaurants have an unannounced inspection at least once every six months to determine if they are in compliance with applicable rules and regulations at the time of inspection. In addition to routine inspections, unannounced inspections are conducted in response to individual complaints.
     Tennessee uses a 44 item inspection sheet with a maximum of 100 points. Thirteen of the items are considered critical. Critical items, found out of compliance, must be corrected within ten days.
     The month’s highest score of a 97 was given to Kitchen Cupboard on April 14.
     A score of 96 was given to both Taste of County on April 6 and Harrison Chilhowee Baptist Academy on April 20.
     Domino’s Pizza on Chapman Hwy. received a score of 94 on April 16.
     A score of 92 was given to Seymour Intermediate School on April 13 and to Krystal on Chapman Hwy. on April 6.
     Receiving scores in the 80s were KFC on Chapman Hwy. with an 89 on April 16, Danny’s Pizza & Pasta with a score of 87 on April 7, and Big Mama’s Karaoke Café received an 85 on April 16.
     Yamato Japanese Steak and Sushi Bar scored a 72 on April 14.
