Popular Cranberry Restaurant Cited By State For Health Violations

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture inspectors did not like what they found during a recent inspection at a popular Cranberry restaurant.

According to the department's website, the inspection revealed evidence of unspecified insect activity at Jimmy Wan's Tai Pei Chinese Restaurant on Route 228. Inspectors found insects in the kitchen area around the electrical box at the end of the back side of the prep line and behind the hand sink.

Inspectors also observed three live insects on glue boards.

Similar activity was found during an inspection of the restaurant in March, when a live insect was discovered between small paper bags on the top shelf in the kitchen prep area. A dead insect was found in a glue board trap in the bottom cabinet area of the fryer on the cook line and two dead on a glue board in the cabinet area of of another fryer. Another dead insect was found on the floor behind the cooler in the sushi room.

Jimmy Wan's, which uses an extermination service, remains open.

The Department of Agriculture is legally required to inspect all dining and drinking establishments once per year. Inspectors can go back several more times a year if complaints are received or the initial inspection was not passed.
