Next time you go out to dinner you might want to check to see if the restaurant you’ve chosen has recently passed or failed its health inspection.
Did you know that over the last month 10 restaurants in North Dorchester have failed their inspection and another 13 eating establishments failed their inspection in South Dorchester?
Most of the violations seem pretty minor, but some of the inspection comments might cause a bit more concern:
“Management not overseeing employees and safe food handling practices.”
– Pho Hoa Restaurant
“Clean shelving of droppings.”
– Johnny’s Pizza & Subs
“Shrimp and pork being defrosted in the same bucket at room temperature.”
– Ba Le Fields Corner
“Interior metal of ice machine with rust like residues.”
– The Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
“At time of inspection 1 staff member doing food prep without proper hair restraint.”
– New Garden Restaurant
You can also search the Mayor’s Food Court for health inspection information for restaurants throughout Boston.
Remember, most restaurant owners are doing their best to play by the rules and thankfully the city inspectors are there to weed out those who aren’t.
