Here are the most recent food safety violations in Lebanon County, as documented by Pennsylvania’s Department of Agriculture.
Inspections are taken as a “snapshot” of the day and time, and should not necessarily be taken as overall indicators of an establishment’s cleanliness. Violations are often corrected prior to the inspector leaving the site. Restaurants were found to be in compliance unless otherwise noted.
