Methodology

Modoc County (CA) enforces the California Retail Food Code (CalCode, Health & Safety Code Division 104, Part 7, Chapter 1 et seq.), the California Health and Safety Code, the California Code of Regulations Titles 17 and 22, and local ordinances. The Modoc County Environmental Health Department (under the Modoc County Health Services parent) does not operate a placard, letter-grade, or numeric-scoring overlay. The Food Sanitation Program page explicitly documents a records-request display model: "Current inspection reports can be viewed upon request at the food facility or the Environmental Health Department." Written inspection reports are issued to the owner/operator; no public-facing inspection portal is published. Modoc EH conducts plan review for new construction and remodels; wholesale food is inspected by State/Federal agencies (not Modoc EH). Approximately 90 retail food facilities are permitted countywide.
