Dead Roaches, Up To 25 Violations: Woodbridge Restaurant Inspections Cited

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Some restaurants in the Woodbridge area recorded violations during recent health department inspections between June 1 and 18.

Health inspectors conduct most restaurant and other health inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually.Violations typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department can also perform a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected.

For every observed violation, the inspector provides a specific corrective action that can be completed to rectify the violation. Sometimes these are simple, and violations can be corrected during the course of the inspection. Other violations are addressed later, and an inspector may conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure compliance.

Here are the most recent inspections from the Woodbridge area, according to the Prince William Health District. One notable result was dead roaches and 20 other violations at World of Omelettes & Waffles in Woodbridge. Peking Express in Woodbridge had 25 violations, including a soiled wet wiping cloth in contact with noodles, and Margarita Restaurant had dead roaches and 13 other violations.
