Loudoun Restaurant Inspections: Spanky's, B Burger, Starbucks

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — Officials from the Loudoun County Health Department inspected multiple food storage and preparation businesses across the county from March 10 to March 16, including eight 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.
