AKRON, Ohio - Here are the Akron and other Summit County restaurants and retailers cited for the most food inspection violations during the 2017-2018 inspection year ending Feb. 28, according to state records.

Many of the roughly 3,500 restaurant and other food retail businesses did not receive a single citation during the most recent inspection year. Of the 2,475 establishments cited during the year, just 1,132 received more than five citations.

A small number, including those listed below, had dozens of violations, as determined by the Summit County health department. Those listed below had at least 42 violations each in 2017-18. See these links for the lists for the previous two inspection years, 2016-17 and 2015-16.

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," state officials say. However, any one inspection is just a snapshot in time.

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.

For the details on each violation, check out our related database at the end of this story.
