Woodbridge Health Inspections: 17 Violations At 1 Facility

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A pair facilities from eastern Prince William County recorded violations during the most recent round of health department inspections from June 6 to June 13.

Most COVID-19 restrictions have relaxed around the state, and health inspectors conduct many restaurant and other health inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually.

Violations 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.

Here are the most recent inspections from the Woodbridge area, according to the Prince William Health District.
