  • San Maru, 2504 Village Green Plaza, Champaign, IL. Inspected November 13
    • The business had several violations corrected on-site, but had other violations which should raise concerns. A sink designated for handwashing could not withstand regular handwashing, and the business was required to fix this issue. Additionally, rodent droppings were present in the mop sink room and two dead adult German cockroaches were present on two sticky traps. As a result, the business must present two consecutive pest control reports demonstrating no cockroach and no rodent activity by 4 p.m. on December 1 of this year.

RED

  • None

What do the ratings mean?

Following an inspection, all businesses serving food in Champaign-Urbana are required to post placards displaying their grades in a location clearly visible to the public. The meaning of the grades are as follows:

  • A green grade means that “the food establishment was found to be in satisfactory compliance with the ordinance and applicable rules and regulations.”
  • A yellow grade denotes “less than satisfactory compliance.” Following posting of a yellow placard, businesses have the opportunity to improve compliance, with a follow-up inspection required to verify improvement to a satisfactory level.
  • A red grade means the establishment is “out of compliance with the ordinance and applicable rules and regulations to the extent that it poses an immediate threat to public health, or a failure to act, resulting in health permit suspension (e.g., did not pay health permit fee).”
