Restaurant Inspections for Washtenaw County in November 2011

By Washtenaw County Public Health

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 food-borne 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 food-borne 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 food-borne illness complaints. Please call our office at 734-222-3800 to file a complaint or to report a suspected food-borne illness.

Boy, i'm glad I never eaten from that happy's pizza on main street. look at all the violations. hard to believe they have all those violations with the frozen food they serve.

Hmm

Thu, Dec 29, 2011 : 3:55 p.m.

That Happy's has really gone down hill since they opened. I stopped eating there a while ago when they jacked up their prices, so now there's another reason to not patronize!

I have been wanting to try out Mi Zarape, not ever having eaten there before. When I saw their latest inspection showing no critical violations and 2 noncritical violations in November, I made the decision to go tonight. I am happy to report that the food, service and overall experience were excellent.

I miss the old letter grades that restaurants had to post in their lobbies. I think a public grade like that promotes cleanliness in restaurants.

DBH

Thu, Dec 29, 2011 : 2:53 a.m.

I think they ought to post the number and details of the critical and noncritical violations cited at their last one, two or three inspections. Now THAT would definitely promote not only cleanliness but also food safety in a more general sense.

I would like to see what the criticals are. Some critical violations are easy fixes like "Dating food six days after they are open".

You can find out for yourself by following the first link included in the article under the very first paragraph.

Once upon a time, the Ann Arbor News would publish the inspection reports weekly, and provided more detail regarding what the individual infractions were. The reports published in the paper were usually public restaurants only, not school cafeterias or the Moose Lodge. I found that format much more useful and informative.

Wed, Dec 28, 2011 : 4:51 p.m.

None of the restaurants I like to frequent are on this list and overall there are a lot less glaring critical violations this month so seems like a good thing I guess
