Routine food service inspections are a vital part of protecting a community’s overall health and the Monroe County Health Department inspects different licensed food service establishments every month.
“Public Health works to prevent and mitigate disease and disability in the population,” Monroe County Health Department states on its website. “When public health works correctly, you will not even notice its existence. Clean drinking water, safe food, and control of disease are public health objectives that are always at work. Public health is always preparing for what might come next while also improving our health in the present.”
Below are details on health inspections performed at restaurants, schools, and other locations in Monroe County serving food between Jan. 9 and 29. The Monroe County Health Department publishes the results of its inspections online.
Priority item violations
These are the most serious types of health code violations because they create immediate risk to customer health.
Priority Foundation item violations
These are the second-highest level of health code violations. They don’t create immediate risk to customer health, but they could enable priority violations.
Core item violations
These violations are related to good practice and general maintenance of the restaurant.
