Food Safety Watch — Chicago, week of August 10, 2026
ABOUT THIS FEED — these constraints override anything you infer:
DO NOT RANK, SCORE OR CHARACTERISE ANY BUSINESS. This reproduces a public regulatory record: what the department did, on what date, under which codes, and how many times that location has been closed or failed. Quote outcomeText — the department's own sentence — rather than paraphrasing, and never use an adjective the record does not contain. inspections is inspections, NOT rows: New York publishes one row per violation and rawRows is nearly four times inspections. Report mix.unrated explicitly — those are visits where the inspector could not inspect and are in no rate's denominator. multiLocationName means the same trade name appears at that many addresses; it is NOT a claim about ownership. The only scored number is the CITY's enforcement rate, which is a fact about the health department. No advice about where to eat.
