AKRON, Ohio - Here are the suburban Summit County restaurants and retailers cited for the most food inspection violations during the 2016-2017 inspection year ending Feb. 28, according to state records.

About one-third the 3,500 restaurant and other food retail businesses did not receive a single citation during the most recent inspection year. About half of those that were cited received five or fewer citations.

A small number, including those listed below, had dozens of violations.

"Are we going back for the same things over and over and over? That's an indication of non-compliance. We have given an instruction to fix something, and they are not coming into compliance," said Tonia Burford, environmental health director for the Summit County health department.

Each restaurant in Ohio is inspected twice a year as a standard, plus follow-ups as needed, usually to check on identified problems. Other places handling food to a lesser extent may be inspected once a year.

Violations identified as "critical" are those that "may immediately lead to a foodborne illness," said Jamie Higley, food safety program administrator for the Ohio Department of Health.



Some violations are minor. Many problems are fixed at the time of the inspection. In some cases, follow-up inspections are conducted where problems need to be fixed.

Health inspectors cannot impose fines, but health departments can suspend or revoke operating licenses.
