Fredericksburg Restaurant Inspections: 8 Violations At One Place

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Officials from the Rappahannock Area Health District conducted six routine inspections of food storage and preparation businesses in Fredericksburg from Feb. 3-16.

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.
