Low Risk

Inspectors have visited Wendy's six times, with records going back to 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 25, 2011. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Note that Wendy's's inspection history hasn't been updated since Apr 25, 2011; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around three violations per visit lately, up from roughly zero violations before.

Looking across the full record, “premises maintained free of litter” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
