Public Health Madison & Dane County posts its food inspection reports online: use the "Look up Health Inspection Reports" search on publichealthmdc.com. The reports cover restaurants, bars, coffee and ice cream shops, grocery and convenience stores, delis, caterers and worksite cafeterias, including mobile and seasonal ones. Each shows the inspection date, whether it was a routine visit or a reinspection, what the inspector observed and the corrective actions required, with the Wisconsin Food Code section involved. Public Health doesn't score or grade inspections, and a report shows conditions at the time of the visit, so it may not reflect fixes made since.
