Low Risk

Inspectors have visited KFC three times, with records going back to 2024. On Feb 10, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “proper date marking and disposition”, showing up two times.

That's lower than the typical Union City restaurant, which scores around 95. The record reflects steady performance over time.
