RESTAURANT INSPECTION: Health District Cites MVP Bar & Grill for Sanitary Issues

During a routine inspection April 14, the Prince William Health District cited MVP Bar & Grill with multiple sanitary issues.

The restaurant, located at 7518 Old Linton Hall Road in Gainesville, was cited for one critical and four non-critical violations.

According to the inspection report, the critical violation includes:

Critical (Corrected During Inspection):  The following equipment food-contact surfaces were observed soiled to sight and touch: cutting board.

The non-critical violations included.

• (Corrected During Inspection): Wiping cloths improperly stored between use.
• (Corrected During Inspection): The nonfood contact surface of the top of the dish machine has accumulations of grime and debris.
• Light over the prep area in the kitchen noted missing protective shield.
• Floors structure in the kitchen under the dish machine area noted in need of cleaning.

“Restaurant inspections are normally scheduled for one to four inspections per year, depending on the complexity of the menu, how much food is made from raw products, and how much is made in advance rather than cooked-to-order,” the agency states on their website.

When violations are observed during a routine inspection, they are detailed in a report and classified as either critical (posing a direct or immediate threat to consumers) or non-critical (a failure of cleaning or maintenance), the agency said.

These inspections are considered by the Health District as a snapshot of a specific day of operation.

According to the agency, “Ideally, an operation would have no critical violations, or none which are not corrected immediately and not repeated. In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations.”
