Darien Health Department has suspended its A-B-C grading system for restaurant inspections now that the state Public Health Department has replaced its numerical ratings for the inspections, the town department announced on Thursday. The old system didn’t rely entirely on the state numerical ratings, but the ratings played a huge role in the town’s A-B-C grades. Until the local Health Department figures out a new way to give out grades after health inspections, there won’t be any town grades. “This notice includes a QR Code link to the [town] Health Department website where inspection reports may be viewed.”The ratings are expected to be reinstated “at some point in the near future,” according to the department. Anyone interested may visit the Darien Health Department’s web pages on the town government website (here’s the home page for the Health Department).
