Low Risk

Across the available record, Mcdonald's has 27 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. On May 10, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly nine violations earlier in the record.

When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 16 times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Mcdonald's is doing better than most peers. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
