HEALTH DEPARTMENT
UNVEILS NEW PLACARDS
The Allegheny County Health Department
(ACHD) has unveiled new placards that will
be on display in food establishments in the
county. The new design features a QR code,
which provides a quick link that will allow
consumers to use their personal digital device
to view inspection reports right at the front
door.
The Inspected & Permitted placard
indicates that a food establishment has passed
the mandatory inspection by the health
6 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Penn Hills
department’s Food Safety Program and is
permitted to operate.
The Consumer Alert placard serves as
a notification to the public that conditions
identified at the time of inspection may pose a
health risk to the customer.
The Closed placards are posted for one of
three reasons:
• Conditions identified at the time of
inspection pose a serious health risk to the
customer.
• A facility is operating without a valid
health permit.
• Food safety conditions remain
uncorrected after opportunity for a hearing,
or after reaching the maximum number of
days allowed to operate with a consumer
alert, which is 10 days.

The risk of getting shingles begins to
increase around the age of 50. Anyone that
age or older should get the vaccine, regardless
of whether they recall having chickenpox.
Studies show that 99% of individuals 40 and
older have had chickenpox.
People who have already had shingles
can still receive the vaccine to prevent future
occurrences of the disease. The vaccine
reduces the risk of developing shingles by
more than 50 percent, and it reduces the risk
of pain after the rash by 67 percent.

Department, we take our responsibility
to ensure safe eating establishments very
seriously,” said Director Dr. Karen Hacker.
“The updated placards will provide county
residents with a clear and easy-to-read status
of the facilities they’re considering when
making dining choices, while also providing
easy access to the reports behind each status.
It is our hope that people will make healthy
choices and live well!”
