Mice droppings on shelves, gnats under sink: Latest KC-area restaurant inspections

From moldy food on grocery displays to roaches under a soda machine, health inspectors in Missouri and Kansas found numerous violations at Kansas City-area restaurants last week. Dining establishments like sit-down restaurants, drive-thrus, gas stations and grocery stores are required to get food inspections, and governments have to release those inspections to the public. In Kansas City and Independence, each city’s health department enforces the food code while in Kansas, the state’s Department of Agriculture handles inspections. The lower the number of violations, the better. Most restaurants correct violations at the time of the original inspection or shortly after. The full inspections show how each establishment has corrected or is working to correct any remaining violations. They are available for Kansas City at inspectionsonline.us/foodsafety/mousakansascity/search.htm and Johnson and Wyandotte counties at portal.kda.ks.gov/Food/FoodInspectionSearch. Here are the restaurants in Kansas City, Johnson and Wyandotte Counties that received seven or more priority and priority foundation ​violations from Oct. 25-31. No eateries in Independence met the threshold during this time period. Midtown Market-Desi Dhaba 3967 Main St. Nine violations found during Oct. 26 inspection Roaches were seen on a wall, while dead roaches were seen in paper towel dispenser.
