Woodbridge Health Inspections: Round 1, Harbour Grille, Papa John's

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Inspectors with the Prince William Health District visited several restaurants around Woodbridge during routine inspections between July 6 and July 12. They recorded violations at several facilities, including one restaurant with two dozen violations.

Most COVID-19 restrictions have relaxed around the state, and health inspectors are returning to 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 as they were written by the Prince William Health District.
