Food Safety Alerts for Chicago

Chicago's Department of Public Health inspects thousands of food establishments each year. Panko Alerts surfaces inspection results, FDA recalls, and compliance updates relevant to Chicago — so you don't have to dig through government portals.

Chicago inspection data

Chicago publishes restaurant inspection data through its open data portal. Each inspection includes the facility name, address, inspection type, results (pass, fail, conditional), violations found, and the date. Panko Alerts ingests this data and delivers it in a clean, searchable feed.

Federal sources that affect Chicago

Beyond city inspections, Chicago restaurants and consumers are affected by FDA recalls (nationwide product recalls), FSIS meat and poultry alerts, DOL wage and hour rule changes, and CDC outbreak investigations. Panko Alerts monitors all of these and filters them to what's relevant to Illinois and the Chicago metro area.

Staying compliant in Chicago

Chicago has specific food safety regulations that differ from other cities, including its own licensing requirements and inspection frequency. Operators need to stay current on both city-level and federal changes. Panko Alerts consolidates these into a single daily feed.
