For A Facility
Search Help
Wild
card characters (special characters that take the place of one or more
characters when searching for a name or address, usually *, ?
or %) are not necessary, and the search fields are not case
sensitive, so upper and lower case does not matter.
Zero results: If your search does not return any facility information,
try entering less information in the search fields: only the first few
letters of a facility name or street name, rather than the entire name,
or just the facility name by itself, or just the street name or just the ZIP
Code.
Facility names that are plural may or may not contain an apostrophe
('), so try entering the name without the final "s": Smith,
rather than Smith's or Smiths, or Frank
rather than Frank's Inc or Franks Inc.
Business names that include initials or single letters are usually listed
with no spaces between the single characters. For example, BC Dairy, A&B
Grocery. There are some
exceptions, so to find a specific business name you may want to try two
searches: one without spaces (AB&C)
and one with (A B & C).
Some areas in unincorporated
Fresno
County
may be listed
differently between the City and ZIP Code fields. For example,
some businesses in ZIP Code 93650 identify their city as Fresno
, while others in the
same area use Pinedale as the city designator. Searching for
one city name will eliminate the other from the results, but searching by ZIP
Code - 93650 in this case - will return all facilities.
For this reason, specifying both the City and ZIP Code fields
in the same search may result in an incomplete list, or zero results. Generally the postal ZIP Code will yield more specific
results.
Too many results: If the list of businesses returned is too long, add
a little more information at a time until you get what you are looking for.
In most cases the facility name or first few letters of the name along with
the street name or first few letters of the street name should narrow the
list to a manageable length.
Searching by Area: Type in a street name without a street number and
without a facility name to find all the food facilities on that street. Use
the ZIP Code search by itself to find all food facilities in a particular
area.
Business name changes: Facility ownership and name changes are common,
so if you suspect that there has been a recent name change, try searching for
the facility by address, leaving the name field blank.
Fresno County and Incorporated Cities Businesses only: Lastly, inspection information is only available for the
categories listed within Fresno
County
, either in an
unincorporated area or in one of the incorporated cities.
