Score
The health department has logged nine inspections at Forever Yogurt, the earliest from 2010. On Jun 17, 2014, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Public records show no inspections at Forever Yogurt since Jun 17, 2014, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around four violations each, up from closer to two violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited four times.
Forever Yogurt's latest score of 78 falls below the Chicago average of 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
