Manassas Health Inspections: Ashland Elementary School
MANASSAS, VA — Several schools around Manassas and Haymarket were inspected by the Prince William Health District. These routine inspections are regularly conducted anywhere food is served, including school cafeterias. One local restaurant also recorded a violation, according to the inspection report
Though some coronavirus restrictions continue to fluctuate around the state, health inspectors are returning to conduct many 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 Manassas area, according to the Prince William Health District.
