Each month, the Livingston County Health Department inspects restaurants, schools and other facilities for unsafe food practices.
Good food safety practices are critical to preventing foodborne illness and promoting public health. The Daily publishes reports on “priority” violations — those that could “directly lead to contamination of food or increase the risk of transmitting a foodborne illness,” as well as corrective measures taken. All reports are available at swordsolutions.com/inspections.
At least 20 dining establishments inspected in April had priority violations. Follow-up inspections of priority violations are also provided if they occurred last month.
