Some food-handling or kitchen issues at a restaurant can be easy for customers to notice: Weird smells, crawling insects or unclean employees are all signs of trouble. But sometimes the problem is harder to pin down, such as food stored at improper temperatures, unclean kitchen equipment, or insufficient handwashing by staff.

Some recent restaurant inspections throughout Virginia noted problems that included: A prohibited roach insecticide in use, encrusted dirt buildup, a white substance growing on food, moldy tiramisu, warm uncooked chicken and more.
