Three Asian-food restaurants, a sandwich shop and a convenience store all made late July’s short restaurant inspection list.

Twice each month, I take a look at inspection results and report every place either listed out of compliance or with 10 or more code violations. Full reports are available online at agriculture.ks.gov.

There you can find details about specific violations, which can vary greatly.

Noncritical citations include unlabeled products, improperly stored cleaning materials, minor plumbing issues and more. Critical violations include cross-contamination of raw and cooked foods, insect and rodent issues, and unclean food preparation areas.

Some violations may be corrected during the inspection, while others take longer to fix and require follow-up inspections.

All businesses, even those listed as out of compliance, met the basic requirements to safely remain open, unless otherwise noted.

With this regular report I try to provide basic information about food inspections in Douglas County. But because of the sheer volume of inspections, it’s difficult to offer detailed information about each establishment.

Here are Douglas County restaurant inspection results for the second half of July:

• Red Pepper Chinese Restaurant, 821 Iowa St., last had a regular inspection on July 28 and 12 violations were found. The restaurant is currently listed as out of compliance.

• Jade Garden Restaurant, 1410 Kasold Drive, last had a regular inspection on July 26 and 17 violations were found. The restaurant is currently listed as out of compliance.
