There are a few familiar names and a few new ones in this batch of restaurant inspection results.

And despite the fact that some restaurants have appeared in these reports more than once recently, the lists seem to be getting shorter.

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 first half of July:

• TCBY, 845 Massachusetts St., last had a regular inspection on July 15 and seven violations were found. The establishment is currently listed as out of compliance.

• Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St., last had a regular inspection on July 14 and 10 violations were found. The restaurant is currently listed as out of compliance.
