Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Jul 17, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

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

“Utensils, equipment & linens” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

Flavors' latest score of 70 falls below the North Providence average of 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
