GROVETON, VA — With Fairfax County Health Department's restaurant inspection reports back online, we continue to look at reports in the Route 1 corridor.
The health department's environmental health staff inspect over 5,200 restaurants and other retail food service establishments in Fairfax County and cities of Falls Church and Fairfax to ensure safe food handling practices are followed. This includes proper sanitation, food storage and preparation, and adequate kitchen facilities. Aside from restaurants, staff inspect child care centers, hospitals, school cafeterias, and temporary food service vendors at festivals.
The health department cautions residents that a single inspection should not be used to evaluate a restaurant. Pieter Sheehan, the Fairfax County environmental health director, says "it is important to look at multiple inspection reports for a facility to truly understand their approach and commitment to food safety and sanitation."
This week's report focuses on restaurants in Huntington, Groveton, Belle Haven and Fort Hunt in June and July. One of the notable results was at Machu Pollo, where inspectors found cockroaches in the oven and on the countertop. The restaurant was also found to be using cockroach spray not applied by a certified pesticide applicator. Inspectors recommended regular professional pest control service.
Residents can search for a specific restaurant or browse a map of inspected locations through the online database. Click on each report for more information.
