SUMMARY: In April, Austin Public inspected nearly 500 locations, with 65 earning perfect health inspection scores. This may seem inflated due to the smaller pool of inspections for the month. For comparison, April 2023 saw 564 inspections with 9.9% receiving perfect scores. The current average monthly rate is 10.8%, approaching last year's rate of 11.4%. Noteworthy perfect scorers include local school cafeterias and several franchise restaurants such as Popeye's, Denny's, Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut, and McDonald's. The article emphasizes the accomplishment of these establishments in maintaining high health standards.
