ST. JOHNS — When county health inspectors visit local restaurants, they document problems that need addressing to meet county health codes.
The most serious problems are considered priority violations, which present potential health hazards and should be corrected immediately. Priority foundation violations do not present immediate health hazards but should be corrected in a timely manner. Consequently, follow-up inspections and reports may be generated.
In most cases, violations are corrected, and this information isn’t an indication that violations at any establishment are an ongoing issue.
The State Journal obtained some of the reports through a public records request. Here are the most serious violations in Clinton County for the month of December:
Domino’s Pizza, 101 N. Clinton Ave., in St. Johns
Violation: Priority Foundation
Inspection Type: Risk Based Inspection – Routine
Problem: No sanitizer test strips
Comments: “At the time of the inspection there were no sanitizer test strips that were available to monitor the QUAT sanitizer concentrations. Improper sanitizing can allow for potentially dangerous pathogens to survive on food contact and equipment surfaces.”
