Leesburg Health Inspections: Bia Kitchen, Chick-Fil-A, BKD Bagels

LEESBURG, VA — The Loudoun County Health Department recorded violations at several restaurants around Leesburg and western Loudoun County. Officials conducted the most recent round of inspections between June 1 and June 7.

Many COVID-19 restrictions around the state have relaxed, so health inspectors are returning to conduct some restaurant inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually.

Violations at restaurants 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.
