SALT HANK'S

The Verdica score is a composite trust score from 300 to 850, computed from health inspections, violation histories, and enforcement actions maintained by FDA and local health departments. A score of 840 places SALT HANK'S in NY in the excellent (800–850) band. The score reflects publicly available regulator data — it is not a rating from Verdica itself and does not incorporate paid reviews or advertising.

Verdica combines three weighted sub-scores drawn from FDA and local health departments. Each sub-score reflects a different dimension of restaurants compliance — recent inspection outcomes, critical violation counts, and closures — and is normalized against industry peers before being aggregated to the 300–850 scale.

Verdica pulls public records from FDA and local health departments: health inspections, violation histories, and enforcement actions. Data is refreshed on rolling cycles, typically weekly to monthly depending on the source agency's own update schedule. See the "source data current" indicator on the entity page for the last successful refresh.

Common negative signals include repeat critical violations, closures, or foodborne illness outbreaks. Any of these appear in the underlying regulator records and pull the sub-score down; the composite reflects the weighted impact.
