Score
Forever Yogurt has been inspected six times since 2013. The newest entry in the record is dated Aug 9, 2019. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Aug 9, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to five violations.
“Person in charge present, demonstrates knowledge, and performs duties” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Forever Yogurt trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
