Prince William Restaurant Inspections: Live Roaches, Sewage

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA — Inspectors found live roaches at a restaurant in Woodbridge during a recent inspection, according to the Prince William Health District. This was one of several violations observed by inspectors during restaurant inspections around the county.

Though some coronavirus restrictions continue to fluctuate around the state, health inspectors are returning to conduct many 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. Other violations are addressed later, and an inspector may conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure compliance.
