The Prince William Health District cited the Manassas location of the Olive Garden for five violations of the health code for issues concerning washing and sanitizing procedures.
The Italian restaurant, located at 7501 Broken Branch Lane, was inspected July 30 and two critical and three noncritical violations were reported.
According to the Health District report, the critical violations include:
Critical (Corrected During Inspection): The food-contact surfaces of the following equipment were not observed sanitized: food thermometers.
Critical Repeat (Corrected During Inspection): Wiping cloth sanitizer bucket stored next to potato cases under the food preparation table and next to clean equipment and utensils.
Other non-critical violations included:

“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.”
