Casper, Wyoming – The Casper-Natrona County Health Department is inspecting restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, mobile food stores, commissary and food vending machines. Each facility conducts surprise inspections at least twice a year.
According to the department, “violations fall into three categories: priority, priority base, and core.”
While the Ministry of Health looks for flaws, the group’s main goal is to educate businesses about unsafe practices and ways to correct them.
According to the Natrona County Environmental Sanitation Program Manager, “There is no sliding scale and no pass-or-fail health inspection.” Every violation is addressed immediately or within 10 days, meaning a violation does not make the business unsafe .
If a re-inspection is required, the problem may be more serious, or the facility needs more time to fix it. They have 10 days to fix the problem, and according to Hield, most facilities can easily accommodate the request.
Any serious violations or notable citations will be included in the summary notes below, but each restaurant’s full report can be found on the department’s website, where all current information is posted.
