MEDINA, Ohio - Here are the Medina County restaurants and retailers cited for the most food inspection violations during the 2018-2019 inspection year ending Feb. 28, according to state records.
Most of the approximately 1,000 restaurants and other food retail businesses in Medina County received some sort of citation during the most recent inspection year. However, half of those cited received five or fewer citations.
A small number, including those listed below, had dozens of violations in 2018-19. See these links for the lists for the previous three inspection years - 2017-18, 2016-17 and 2015-16.
Each restaurant in Ohio is inspected twice a year as a standard, plus follow-ups as needed, usually to check on identified problems. Other places handling food to a lesser extent may be inspected once a year.
Violations identified as "critical" are those that "may immediately lead to a foodborne illness," the Ohio Department of Health says.
Some violations are minor. Many problems are fixed at the time of the inspection.
Health inspectors cannot impose fines, but health departments can suspend or revoke operating licenses.
For the details on each violation, check out our related database at the end of this story. Or find the data and food inspection reports from Cleveland, Akron and elsewhere in Greater Cleveland at this link.
