Cockroaches and rodent droppings were found at this Land Park seafood restaurant

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to an Arden Arcade Mexican restaurant after finding 175 “fresh” rodent droppings. Additionally, 15 eateries were cited for health food violations ranging from dented cans, slime buildup inside an ice machine and black residue accumulation in the ice cream cooler. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Oct. 22, through Wednesday, Oct. 28. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com . How to report a business to the health

Sacramento news roundup: Newsom names building after Dolores Huerta, Sikh Parade and more

From a state building renaming honoring a late labor icon to weekend festivities drawing hundreds of thousands, Friday brought several stories worth catching up on. Here’s a quick look at what’s happening around the Sacramento region. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday he is renaming the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency building after Dolores Huerta , the labor advocate who died this week at age 96 at her home in Bakersfield. About 2,500 people work in the 17-story, 657,000-square-foot building, which state workers moved into this January. The 2026 Sutter County Nagar Kirtan, better known as the Sikh Parade in Yuba City , begins at 10 a.m. Sunday, with sheriff’s officials expecting hundreds of thousands of attendees along a 4.5-mile route. Law enforcement is placing reference markers on telephone poles to help attendees pinpoint their location if they need emergency assistance. Runners planning to join a Sacramento-area turkey trot this Thanksgiving should sign up soon, as spots are filling fast and registration prices for many races go up after Oct. 31. Options include the Davis Turkey Trot, Run to Feed the Hungry in Sacramento, and events in Woodland, Roseville, Folsom, Granite Bay, Elk Grove and Lincoln benefiting local food banks
