73 Violations At One Place: Manassas Restaurant Inspections

MANASSAS, VA—Prince William Health District officials recently inspected food preparation and storage in the area. Full reports can be accessed on the health department's website. "In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," according to Virginia Department of Health's website.

Violations noted below—such as the 73 violations in less than a month at El Vaquero West III—involve those issues that would typically require a re-inspection if not corrected or those that are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination. They're divided into two categories:

Priority Observations are those violations such as improper cooking, reheating, cooling, or hand washing.
These violations are known to cause food borne illnesses. Uncorrected priority observations usually result in a re-inspection.

Critical violations are food regulation violations which, if left uncorrected, are more likely than other violations to directly contribute to food contamination, illness, or environmental degradation.

"No priority or critical violations" means that other violations were noted, but do not require re-inspection.

"No items found" means no violations were noted for the establishment, according to the health department.
