Leesburg Restaurant Inspections: Golden China, Subway, Starbucks
LEESBURG, VA — Several locations in Leesburg and western Loudoun County recorded violations during recent inspections from the Loudoun County Health Department. The most recent round of inspections occurred between March 9 and March 15.
The health department cited more than a dozen locations around Leesburg, Purcellville, and Lovettsville.
Many COVID-19 restrictions around the state have relaxed, so health inspectors are returning to conduct some restaurant inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually.
Violations at restaurants 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.
Here are the most recent restaurant inspections in the Leesburg area, according to the Loudoun County Health Department.
