WEST VIRGINIA: Restaurant inspections getting tougher - (The Herald-Dispatch)
June 21, 2008 – 10:49 pmHUNTINGTON — Passing inspection is about to get a little harder for area restaurants, under a revised West Virginia regulation that goes into effect July 1.
Officials and residents say tightening the rule for food establishments was needed, though few expect it to hurt area restaurants.
Under the revised state code, establishments that have more than three critical violations found during an inspection must close until those violations are corrected. The previous rule allowed for five before a restaurant was required to close.
Twenty-five Huntington area restaurants would have failed the new standard after inspections in 2007 under the new rule, according to records in the restaurant inspection database at herald-dispatch.com.
