TIFTON — The following food service establishments were inspected in Tift County between Sept. 7 and Sept. 13.  These establishments were evaluated according to the rules and regulations set forth in the Georgia State Chapter 290-5-14.

Anyone with a question, comment or complaint should feel free to call the Environmental Health Services section of the Tift County Health Department at 386-7967.  

The violations for each establishment are divided into two categories, Public Health Interventions to control Food borne Illness Risk Factors and Good Retail Practices.
