48,861 food establishments inspected by the Chicago Department of Public Health. 80.6% pass rate.
Food inspections in Chicago are conducted by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH). Inspectors visit food establishments including restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, and food trucks. Each inspection results in one of three outcomes: Pass, Pass with Conditions (meaning minor issues were found that must be corrected), or Fail (indicating serious violations that may pose a health risk).
The source snapshot contains 48,861 food establishments. Of inspections with a clear result, 80.6% received a Pass. Establishments that fail may face fines, mandatory re-inspection, or temporary closure until violations are corrected. Common reasons for failure include inadequate refrigeration, pest activity, and improper food handling procedures.
Unlike NYC's letter grade system, Chicago uses a pass/fail approach. A 'Pass with Conditions' result means the establishment can remain open but must address specific issues. If you are concerned about a particular establishment, you can check its full inspection history for patterns of violations.

When a food establishment fails a Chicago CDPH inspection, it may face fines, mandatory corrective actions, or temporary closure until violations are resolved. The establishment will be re-inspected to verify that the issues have been fixed. Serious violations such as pest infestations or contamination can result in immediate closure.
The Chicago Department of Public Health inspects food establishments on a risk-based schedule. High-risk businesses (such as full-service restaurants) are typically inspected 1-2 times per year. Businesses with recent failures may be inspected more frequently.
