These Massapequa Restaurants Had Critical Health Code Violations in 2016

Several Massapequa and Massapequa Park restaurants have received health code violations by the New York State Department of Health in 2016.

There were a total of 10 local eating establishments that got one critical health code violation each. 

According to the State Department of Heath, a "critical" violation relates directly to factors that could lead tofoodborne illness and usually involve the food source and condition, food cooking and storage temperatures, sanitary practices of food workers, water and sewage, pest contamination of food and the use of toxic materials. 

"Non-critical” violations do not directly cause food-borne illness but could negatively affect the operation of the restaurant. They relate to the design and maintenance of the establishment as well as cleanliness.
