Low Risk

Teloloapan has been inspected four times since 2010. The most recent visit was on Aug 24, 2011. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Public records show no inspections at Teloloapan since Aug 24, 2011, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around seven violations to closer to four violations per visit.

“Food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
