Food Contact Equipment In Bathroom, Undated Foods: Woodbridge Restaurant Inspections

WOODBRIDGE, VA — In recent weeks, health inspectors found violations at some restaurants during inspections in the Woodbridge area.

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 April inspections from the Woodbridge and eastern Prince William County area, according to the Prince William Health District. Health inspectors found food contact equipment in a bathroom during a pre-opening inspection at Ke Rico.

There were also violations that appeared at multiple restaurants, such as improper hair restraints, foods cold holding at improper temperatures and undated foods. Health inspections made suggestions for corrections in the reports.
