"The Bronx Times found that the majority of Bronx food businesses received an A in their most recent inspection, with about six times as many passing than failing scores."
"One bodega in Mott Haven racked up more than 80 violations, the most in the borough, and the infractions are so egregious that the state is suing to shut it down."
"The grading system implemented in 2024 aligns with restaurant grades, categorizing grades as A for no deficiencies, B for correctable issues, and C for serious uncorrected deficiencies."
Supermarkets and delis in New York are required to display food safety grades, similar to restaurants. Most Bronx food businesses received an A grade, but many had serious violations. A notable bodega in Mott Haven had over 80 violations, leading to a state lawsuit for closure. The grading system, implemented in 2024, categorizes grades as A, B, or C based on critical deficiencies. A grade of A indicates no deficiencies, B indicates correctable issues, and C indicates serious uncorrected deficiencies requiring immediate action.
