A la carte

Most of the violations are handled on the spot — usually by moving or discarding any food in question and cleaning what was found to be dirty — and a few require follow-up visits.

Delaware County presents the inspections with no further comment than above.

The inspections this week were 18 routine and five follow-ups. However, it was also the fourth time in a month Pat’s Pizzeria has been listed, and second time in a month that UNO has been listed.

There were also five businesses with repeat violations, including UNO.

Clean bills of health this week (no violations):

• Artillery Brewing Co., 4221 Ferne Blvd., Drexel Hill.

There are many more inspections performed by the county than those listed above. Those inspections are in food-serving locations that do not have liquor licenses.

Tinicum Township reports through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture website. There were no inspections for the week.

Tinicum is the only one of the seven Delaware County townships that doesn’t rely on the county health department for inspections that reports through the state.

Governmental entities are not obligated to report the results of food-safety inspections to the public.

Here are the previous inspections in Delaware County.
