These are the 35 eateries with near-perfect health inspections in the Bradenton area
The Bradenton Herald regularly reports on local restaurants that don’t pass inspection by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
But readers have frequently asked which restaurants have done well during inspectors’ visits, too, and we agree they deserve a shout-out.
Passing inspection without flaw is no easy feat. Florida bases its inspection standards on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Food Code, which contains many, many possible violations. These Bradenton-area restaurants did more than pass their regular state inspection — they aced it.
These local businesses earned perfect or near-perfect health inspections between Nov. 7-18.
