Violations At McLean Restaurants: 60-Degree Milk

Every wonder how clean your local restaurants are? Fairfax County restaurants regularly undergo health inspections, with the frequency depending on the type of food served and how it is prepared. While violations like malfunctioning refrigerators and food that's not warm or cold enough often pop up, health inspectors sometimes note more critical violations.

“In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," notes the Virginia Department of Health.

Here are full results for the latest inspections around McLean and Tysons, including restaurants that passed with no violations. Among these violations included a milk container measured at 60 degrees at Silver Diner. This violation was corrected during the inspection.
