ASHBURN, VA — Officials from the Loudoun County Health Department inspected multiple food storage and preparation businesses across the area from April 25 to May 4, including four locations with violations.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many inspections are being conducted virtually. So, the listed violations may not be an all-encompassing rundown of all the violations at a particular establishment.

Violations at restaurants typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department also performs a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected.
