Lebanon County, PA news, events, and opinions.

Here are the most recent food safety violations in Lebanon County, as documented by Pennsylvania’s Department of Agriculture.

Inspections are taken as a “snapshot” of the day and time, and should not necessarily be taken as overall indicators of an establishment’s cleanliness. Violations are often corrected prior to the inspector leaving the site. Restaurants were found to be in compliance unless otherwise noted.

Editor’s Note: Upon the suggestion of a local business owner, starting today we will share all inspections in this weekly report, including those where no violations were found. LebTown values feedback from our readers as we seek to provide the most complete and accurate news report possible to the community. Thank you for reading!
