Ashburn Restaurant Inspections: Violations At Six Locations

• ASHBURN, VA — Officials from the Loudoun County Health Department inspected multiple food storage and preparation businesses across the county from March 23 to March 29, including six 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.

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.
