Looking for a place to dine out, grocery shop or stay in the Wichita area?
You might consider visiting businesses that passed recent health inspections.
Places that serve and sell food or offer lodging to the public are regularly inspected by the Kansas Department of Agriculture to make sure they’re clean and safe. The rules they’re expected to follow include things such as keeping bugs and mice out, handling food properly, throwing away old food, ensuring workers wash their hands, and keeping the premises in good repair so no one gets sick or hurt.
Here are 61 locations in Sedgwick County that passed food safety or lodging inspections Aug. 30 to Sept. 5, according to the state. Many had few or no violations.
The health checks occurred at restaurants, stores, gas stations, hotels, motels, schools, concession stands, entertainment venues, bars, food trucks and other businesses and organizations that feed or rent rooms to the public.
Inspections happen routinely but also when someone files a complaint. Inspectors return to businesses that failed recent checks to make sure they’ve fixed any problems, so some places that appear on this list may have had trouble previously.
This list was compiled on Sept. 15 using information available from the state on that date. It covers Sedgwick County only.
