Retail Food Inspection Reports
A FOIA request is not required to obtain routine Retail Food inspection reports. Reports from the last three years are publicly available through SC Food Grades.
The database includes risk-based inspection scores and reports for facilities permitted under South Carolina Regulation 61-25, including restaurants, delis, school cafeterias, grocery stores, retail meat markets, bakeries, seafood markets, and convenience stores.
Questions or corrections concerning information in the SC Food Grades application may be submitted to scfoodgrades@scda.sc.gov
