Active Managerial Control (AMC) Program

Northern Nevada Public Health (NNPH) Active Managerial Control (AMC) Program is a system used by food service operators to improve food safety. The systems can help operators standardize their business procedures, improve inspection scores and provide for a safer experience for your customers.

Our resources can help food service operators of all experience levels develop their own food safety systems using AMC methods.

In the coming months, we'll have updated videos and other materials to help ensure food safety protocols are being met. 

If you have any questions, please contact Amber English at 775-433-4015 or email foodsafety@nnph.org.

Food Safety Scores

Below are the scores that a food establishment can receive after a Health District inspection. 

Pass

Great job! The food establishment is practicing safe procedures. Fewer than 3 critical violations were observed during the inspection.  

Conditional Pass

The food establishment has some safety issues that were able to be corrected during that inspection. 3-5 critical violations were observed during the inspection. The facility is able to stay open and a reinspection will occur to verify that all violations have stayed corrected.  

Failed

The food establishment has 6 or more critical violations that were able to be corrected during the inspection. The facility is able to stay open and a reinspection will occur to verify all violations have stayed corrected.

Closed

The food establishment has at least one critical violation that can not be corrected during the inspection. The facility must close until all issues are corrected and control over food safety has been regained.
