Six Seymour retail food stores have been inspected since September and all of them scored well above the Department of Agriculture’s passing grades.
Walgreens on Chapman Hwy. received the highest score of all the retail establishments with a score of 99 out of 100 points on Sept. 10.
The second highest score of the last three months was a 96 received on Sept. 10 by E-Z Stop Food Mart on Chapman Hwy.
Also inspected during the same time period was Seymour Speedway Market on Maryville Hwy. which received a 91 on Sept. 10 and Fast Stop Market on Chapman Hwy. received a 90 on Sept. 28.
The two lowest scores, but both 13 points above the minimum passing score, were Floyd’s Market on Chapman Hwy. with an 83 received on Nov. 8 and White Star Market also with an 83 on Sept. 10.
