Color-Coded Restaurant Grading System Begins
Starting July 1, diners in San Leandro and other Alameda County communities will get green, yellow and red alerts about restaurant health and safety.
Effective July 1, all restaurants in Alameda County (with the exception of Berkley) will have color-coded placards issued by the Alameda County Health Department indicating the rating of the restaurant's cleanliness.
According to the website, the change will effect 6,000 restaurants in the county. The county will make routine inspections of the restaurants.
Look for the placards posted at the front of the eatery.
- Green means "pass"
- Yellow means "conditional pass"
- Red means the restaurant is closed.
