About RiskyBites

RiskyBites is a public-data website that turns official restaurant inspection results into searchable restaurant, city, county, and state pages.

Official public data first. RiskyBites is built from government or verifiable public health sources whenever available.
Public-record presentation. The site is designed to surface official inspection results, source links, and jurisdiction context in a searchable format.
Mixed-jurisdiction support. Some agencies publish numeric scores, others publish official outcomes like Pass or Fail, and the site keeps that distinction visible.

Imported source files are preserved and normalized into a consistent inspection-record format.
Duplicate records are removed before publish, while failed rows and quality flags are logged for operator review.
When a source does not provide a grade, RiskyBites may calculate a display grade from a valid 1-100 numeric score, but never invents an official score.

RiskyBites is built on the belief that public restaurant inspection records should be easier to search, compare, and revisit over time.
The site adds structure, plain-language framing, and location context so official records are more usable without changing what the source agency published.
Editorial framing on RiskyBites is limited to helping visitors interpret public records and understand coverage, not replacing the underlying agency result.

Restaurant pages link back to the best available source page and any report-detail links provided by the source agency.
Decorative hero photos are open-source stock images and are explicitly unrelated to the restaurants shown in the data.
Visitors can submit new county or city sources for review through the public Submit Reports form.
