Dirt In Ice Machine, No Handwashing: Woodbridge Restaurant Inspections

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Some restaurants in the Woodbridge area recorded violations during recent health department inspections between Aug. 1 and 13.

Health inspectors conduct most restaurant and other health inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually. Violations typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department can also perform a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected.

For every observed violation, the inspector provides a specific corrective action that can be completed to rectify the violation. Sometimes these are simple, and violations can be corrected during the course of the inspection. Other violations are addressed later, and an inspector may conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure compliance.

Here are the most recent inspections from the Woodbridge area, according to the Prince William Health District. The most violations were nine at Veteran's Park Pool Concession and included a handwashing violation and encrusted dirt in the ice machine.
