A handful of hotels made their way onto the restaurant inspection list for the first half of August.

Coincidentally, the inspections come at a time when students are trickling back — OK, maybe they’re returning in droves — and I’m sure Lawrence’s hospitality industry is seeing plenty of business.

Twice each month, I take a look at inspection results and list 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, unclean food preparation areas and more.

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

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

I try to provide basic information about food inspections in Douglas County, but due to the sheer volume of inspections, it’s difficult to offer detailed information about each establishment.
