Across the available record, American Accord Food Corporation has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Jun 19, 2018. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. Public records show no inspections at American Accord Food Corporation since Jun 19, 2018, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited seven times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which American Accord Food Corporation's 78 doesn't quite reach. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
