Restaurant Inspections In Silver Spring: Kosher Cafe, High School

SILVER SPRING, MD — Foodborne illness is no joke, which is why one can't be too careful when it comes to eating out. Thankfully, with a bit of help from the Montgomery County Office at Health and Human Services, it's easy to keep tabs on the cleanliness of your favorite restaurants.

Two types of inspections are done: comprehensive inspections evaluate the sanitation, maintenance and food service operations of the facility; and monitoring inspections involve checking the food service operation for critical food temperatures, equipment temperatures and general food handling, cleanliness practices.

County inspectors check kitchens in churches, schools, pool houses and golf clubs. They also monitor the cleanliness of snack bars, kiosks inside grocery stores, hotel kitchens, bakeries and bars.
