By Erwin S. Amick Last updated May 26, 2022

These are recent restaurant inspection reports for Marion County — May 16-21 — filed by state safety and sanitation inspectors.

The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation describes an inspection report as “a ‘snapshot’ of the conditions present at the time of the inspection. On any given day, an establishment may have fewer or more violations than were noted during its last inspection. An inspection performed on any given day may not be representative of the overall long-term conditions of the facility.

Please note that some more recent follow-up inspections may not be included here.
