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.

6 – 501.111 Controlling Pests
The facility employs a Pest Control Service and the Pest Control Operator conducts regular inspections, however several deficiencies were noted. Two of the PCO’s recommendations have been on every report since February 11, 2020. “Trash and debris collecting around trash cans can cause unsanitary conditions and attraction by pests” and “Door gaps can allow pest access. Please ensure exterior doors are properly sealed.” When the PCO lists recommendations on the report, it is incumbent upon the facility to take corrective action to address the findings; this is apparently not being done. The list of authorized chemicals provided by the PCO is from 2013/2014; it is an all-inclusive listing of chemicals that the PCO uses rather than a specific list of chemicals that are permitted to be used at this facility, and it is not signed by the facility or by the PCO. Product labels and Safety Data Sheets are not available in the PCO’s binder. The PCO’s certificate of insurance is dated 9/6/2019. The copies of licensed applicators’ Pennsylvania licenses provided by the Pest Control Service is not legible except for one individual’s license. The sightings log showed sightings of pests twice on September 8 and three times on September 25. One roach was observed on one glue board at the time of this inspection.
