    Here are the violations that were found in the food safety inspection reports from Montgomery County during the week of March 30-April 5, 2024.

    Every week, we showcase the inspection reports for retail food and drink establishments overseen by the Montgomery County Office of Public Health. All establishments are inspected once a year, and inspectors may come back multiple times if the initial inspection is not passed or if complaints are received. (For more information on how food safety inspections are conducted in Pennsylvania, see a list of FAQs.)

    As stated by the MCOPH, the reports only capture a moment in time and “may not be representative of the overall, long-term cleanliness of an establishment.” Many of the violations are fixed immediately before the inspector leaves the establishment.

    You can access the complete inspection reports for any establishment in the county’s food safety inspection database. To report an illness after eating or drinking at an establishment, use the MCOPH’s complaint form. (Please don’t contact us: we do not inspect restaurants.)
