Health Code Violations Impact Dining Options In Monroe County

Dining out can pose a risk to your and your family's health if you choose the wrong restaurant. Some restaurants do not seem to care about their patrons' health. Thankfully, we have health code inspectors who take on the job of checking to make sure each restaurant and other non-food spots that prepare food, like schools and jails, meet certain safety standards. That's why I put together a list of the results of Monroe County's health code inspections in September.

Thankfully, 77 restaurants (and other places that serve food) passed with flying colors. But there is a long list of those who did not pass. Health code inspectors in Monroe County will give restaurants violations for things like "Enough hot holding equipment is not present, properly designed, maintained , and operated to keep hot foods above 140°F," and "Insects, rodents present." Those violations are considered non-critical. Restaurants can get critical violations, such as "Potentially hazardous foods are not stored under refrigeration except during necessary preparation or approved precooling procedures (room temperature storage)."

Everyone knows that there is a risk of sickness while dining out, but even eating at home isn't safe anymore. There have been some major recalls in New York State recently due to Listeria. A pasta recall has been issued for ready-to-eat meals containing pre-cooked pasta that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. You can read more about that here. Four people have died and 19 others have been hospitalized due to the recall.

Check back each month for a new list of restaurants that have passed their inspections. In case you missed August's health code violations in Monroe County, you can view them HERE.
