There were five restaurants in the Shreveport–Bossier area that had three or more critical health violations during recent inspections from July 6 to July 12.
The Louisiana Department of Health’s retail food health inspections dashboard includes a history of each establishment’s inspection reports, allowing residents and visitors of Louisiana to make informed decisions as consumers, according to their website. Inspections are a “snapshot” in time and do not always reflect the day-to-day operations and overall condition of an establishment.
This site is updated on a daily basis, but there is a seven-day delay before posting inspections.
According to the website, violations fall into two main categories, critical and noncritical. Critical violations, if left uncorrected, are more likely to directly contribute to food contamination or illness. Noncritical violations are not directly related to the cause of food-borne illness, but if left uncorrected, could become critical.
Five restaurants in the Shreveport-Bossier area had three or more critical health violations between July 6 and July 12. There were three restaurants in Bossier City that matched these criteria and two in Shreveport.
