LDH reports critical violations at Terrebonne restaurants for Oct. 1-17

The Houma Courier obtained food safety inspection information for Terrebonne Praish for Oct. 1-17 from the Louisiana Department of Health. The top two addresses with the most critical violations in Terrebonne Parish are listed, along with an explanation of the finding. They each had at least four critical violations. According to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, uncorrected critical violations are more likely to contribute to food contamination or illness. Less serious violations are not directly related to foodborne illness but could become hazardous if uncorrected. The Louisiana Department of Health's retail food health inspections dashboard includes a history of each establishment's inspection reports. Inspections should be considered a "snapshot" and might not always reflect an establishment's day-to-day operations and overall condition. Violations fall into two main categories: critical and non-critical. Critical violations are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination or illness if left uncorrected. Non-critical violations are not directly related to the cause of foodborne illness but could become critical if left uncorrected.
