At A Glance
Congress has an average score of 19 from 1 scored inspections (see inspection history).
The average is between 14 and 27, which equates to having a B average. This shows that Congress may not be consistently maintaining a high level of control over food safety and handling, personal hygiene, facility and equipment managment and vermin control.
An establishment typically has two chances to earn a Grade A in every inspection cycle. It needs to score below 14 points either on its initial visit, or during the re-inspection if it didn't score below 14 points on the first visit.
