Cafeterias at East, NCHS Cited for Minor Health Violations

New Canaan Public Schools cafeterias largely aced their most recent inspections by local health officials. Each of the schools scored 92 or better (out of a possible 100) during an inspection in the fall by a sanitarian from the New Canaan Health Department, and none was cited for a major, 4-point violation. Only two schools—East and NCHS—were cited for what’s called a “risk factor” violation (details below). The overall scores were:

East School: 93
South School: 98
West School: 96
Saxe Middle School: 95
New Canaan High School: 92

Just as with restaurants in New Canaan, a school cafeteria is said to “fail” an inspection if it’s cited for a major, 4-point violation, or if violation points assessed total more than 20. None of the school cafeterias failed during inspections conducted in September and October.
