Loudoun County health inspectors found live roaches, a substance suspected to have mold, flies under a sink and more during recent visits.
ASHBURN, VA — Numerous restaurants in the Ashburn and Sterling area recorded violations during recent health department inspections in November. A few had pest-related violations involving roaches and flies.
Violations at restaurants typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department can also perform 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. Some common violations may include foods hot holding or cold holding at improper temperatures, foods without dates marked, and sanitizer with improper amounts.
Here are restaurant inspection results in and around Ashburn and Sterling in October from the Loudoun County Health Department. Notable violations included a substance containing potential mold growth at Banjara Flavors Of India, flies beneath a sink at Rais Pizza, residue in the ice machine at Route 7 Brewing Co, and live roaches at Viet Fire Kitchen.
