Woodbridge Restaurant Inspections: 22 Violations At 1 Eatery

WOODBRIDGE, VA —Several facilities in the Woodbridge area recorded violations during recent health department inspections between March 1 and 13.

Health inspectors conduct most restaurant, school, child care center 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. Of note, Ohmani Bap had 22 violations. Meanwhile, Fuddruckers resolved a mice complaint with health inspectors finding no mice concerns.
