Georgia Restaurant Inspection Reports Soon To Be Posted on Web

    AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - State health officials are working on a new
Web site that will allow diners to access more information on
inspection reports before eating out.
    The new Georgia Environmental Health Information System Web site
will include the inspection forms with specific violations and
inspector notes.
    That will allow consumers to better understand what a score
means, said Mike Allison, environmental health manager for the
Richmond County Health Department.
    He said a score can be misleading because a restaurant could
still score in the 90s even with a major violation such as
undercooking hamburgers.
    A spokeswoman for the Georgia Division of Public Health said the
Environmental Health Information System will be available online by
year’s end. She did not specify when.
