Three Lafayette Parish restaurants recorded the highest number of critical health violations during inspections conducted between Oct. 26 and Nov. 2, according to the Louisiana Department of Health. The inspections, published through the state's retail food health inspections dashboard, identified violations that health officials say are more likely to contribute to food contamination or foodborne illness if left uncorrected.
