Pizza parlor, bagel shop and dessert spot on early January’s restaurant inspection list

For the first half of January a pizza parlor, a popular dessert spot and a bagel shop all made their way onto the list of restaurant inspections.

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.

With this regular report 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.

Here are Douglas County restaurant inspection results for the first half of January:

• Slice of History, 1200 Oread Ave., last had a follow-up inspection on Jan. 13 and four violations were found. The establishment is currently listed as out of compliance.

• Billy Vanilly, 914 Massachusetts St., last had a routine inspection on Jan. 6 and seven violations were found. The establishment is currently listed as out of compliance.

• Einstein Bros Bagels, 1026 Massachusetts St., last had a routine inspection on Jan. 6 and 12 violations were found. The establishment is currently listed as in compliance.
