Low Risk

The health department has logged eight inspections at KFC, the earliest from 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 5, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

When inspectors have written things up, “food-contact surface soiled with food debris” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
