📰 News we're reading

• Flies, grime and dog bed cited in restaurant Inspections (northjersey.com) — Monmouth County health inspectors recently cited several Shore-area restaurants for issues ranging from food kept at unsafe temperatures to flies and cleanliness problems, in towns overseen by the same health department that covers Farmingdale. While no Farmingdale eateries are named, these inspections show how strictly local establishments are monitored and what kinds of violations can trigger reinspections or temporary closures.
