Woodbridge Health Inspections: World Of Omelettes & Waffles, Neabsco Elementary

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A local restaurant and an elementary school were cited with violations during recent visits from Prince William County's health department. The routine inspections are regularly conducted anywhere that serves food, including school cafeterias. The most recently published inspections were conducted between Jan. 26 and Feb. 1.

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.

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