Restaurant inspections for Washtenaw County in July 2011

By Washtenaw County Public Health

Kristen Schweighoefer, Environmental Health Supervisor

Washtenaw County Public Health's Environmental Health Division inspects all food service establishments in the county, including bars, restaurants, schools and seasonal vendors —about 1,110 facilities in total! Inspection results are now published monthly on AnnArbor.com.

Why do we inspect?

Inspections help to ensure that safe food is served to the public. Sanitarians (otherwise known as health inspectors) use the Michigan Food Law of 2000 and the 2005 FDA Food Code when doing the inspections and are looking for critical and non-critical food safety violations.

How frequent are inspections?

Routine inspections take place twice per year, or once per year if the business is only open seasonally. Routine inspections are unannounced. Environmental Health will initiate additional inspections if a foodborne illness or other substantial complaint is reported.

Each inspection is a snapshot in time, and conditions found at the restaurant are not necessarily the conditions that could be found in the restaurant at other times. Sanitarians ask many questions about the menu, operations and procedures to get the best possible idea of the day-to-day conditions of the restaurant.

Critical vs. non-critical violations

Sanitarians are looking for critical and non-critical violations during inspections. Critical violations can lead directly to foodborne illness and must be corrected immediately. Examples of critical violations include an employee not washing hands before preparing food, storing food at improper temperatures and a dish machine not properly sanitizing dishes.

Non-critical violations may not directly lead to foodborne illness but are important to the overall safety and sanitation of the facility. Non-critical violations must be corrected within 90 days of the routine inspection and include items such as employees not wearing hats or hairnets, not covering food during storage and dirty floors.

What if I have a complaint?

Environmental Health responds to general restaurant complaints as well as foodborne illness complaints. Please call our office at 734-222-3800 to file a complaint or to report a suspected foodborne illness.

Wow, Sheesh is also trying to lead the pack here. I'm surprised Raja Rani didn't make the list, considering I found a rancid piece of tandoori chicken at their buffet recently.

It's enlightening to follow the link and see the actual violation write-ups. Vinology's issues seem relatively minor to a place like Sheesh were mold was growing in the ice machine, the chefs had open drinks in the cooking area, and they were keeping rice pudding past its expiration. Come on, bad restaurants, stop being so filthy and lazy! Didn't your mom teach you that getting people sick is bad for business?

@treetown, I don't understand why anyone would eat at a place that only had crabs and peanut butter?

I don't either, but they scored better than Zingermans, which is apparently the best Restaurant Everrrrr!

Uh, I guess Sheesh will be able to do something about their less-than-stellar inspection, since they now have to rebuild the restaurant. Also, it would be nice if the chart included live links to the inspections.

Relative to others, it doesn't look as if Vinology is doing much for food safety at their restaurant. They had 5 critical and 8 noncritical violations in July, not much better than the 6/8 in January. They remain off my list for any restaurants I will patronize. And Sheesh Mediterranean Cuisine, now closed due to the fire early last week, seems to be the champion this time around with 7 critical and 13 noncritical violations. Assuming they reopen at some point, perhaps they can reconfigure things so they eliminate most or all of these violations in the future. That many violations really is unacceptable.

Quite a shock that Vinology, a place one thought as an upscale, grown up restaurant, would do so badly. I'm reluctant to go there now, and if I do will look very carefully and critically at the food I eat. Nah! I just won't go there.

DBH

Wed, Aug 31, 2011 : 9:57 p.m.

Well, I hope they take this seriously as well. However, it does not appear they have taken it seriously since January of this year, so it does not look promising.

Im very surprised and disappointed in the Vinology score....it's one of our favorite restaurants and seems to the casual diner to be quite on top of the varied details of a good restaurant experience. Hope they take this seriously.
