SOUTH CAROLINA (WMBF) - The South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control aims at improving food safety at area restaurants through
a statewide inspection initiative.
The results, which are made available to the public, are based off of a 100
point checklist that inspects 50 areas of each chosen establishment. The lowest
grade a restaurant can receive is a "C" rating, or 70 to 77 points.
The following are two of the latest restaurant inspection results in Murrells
Inlet and Pawleys Island.
