As of  February 1, 2024

The New Jersey Retail Food Establishment Rating system set forth in Chapter 24 (N.J.A.C. 8:24) is currently comprised of three rating categories: 

• Conditional Satisfactory - at the time of inspection, the establishment was found not to be operating in substantial compliance with this chapter and in violation of one or more required provisions. Due to the nature of these violations, an unannounced full reinspection will be scheduled. Opportunity for reinspection is offered within a reasonable time determined by the severity of the violation.

• Unsatisfactory - whenever a retail food establishment is operating in violation of this chapter, with one or more violations constituting gross unsanitary or unsafe conditions posing imminent health hazards, the Health Authority immediately requests the establishment's manager to voluntarily cease operation until reinspection verifies that conditions warranting unsatisfactory evaluation no longer exist. Meanwhile, the health authority institutes necessary measures provided by law to assure that the establishment does not prepare or serve food until reinspection validates that conditions now meet health standards.

These inspections lists are generally updated twice a month. Please report any health violations about a particular food establishment in the municipalities below to the Monmouth County Regional Health Commission by phone 732-493-9520. Health-related inquiries may also be made to this telephone number.
