Score
Jaffa Bakery has been inspected seven times since 2010. The most recent report on file is from Aug 25, 2011. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Jaffa Bakery's record stops at Aug 25, 2011, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around three violations lately and about five violations before that.
The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited five times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
