Discover Laramie County’s Health and Food Inspection Results: What You Need to Know (Feb 10 – Feb 16, 2025)

In Cheyenne, the local health department keeps a close eye on eateries like restaurants, bars, and convenience stores. Each place is inspected at least twice a year without prior notice.

During these inspections, the department looks for two types of violations: critical and non-critical. Critical violations can directly lead to foodborne illnesses and pose a serious risk to customers. Non-critical violations usually involve aspects like cleanliness or maintenance of the facility.

The goal is to have businesses correct critical violations immediately, or at least within 24 hours. For non-critical ones, the fix can wait until the next routine inspection. If a follow-up inspection is necessary, it indicates that the issue might have been more serious or required extra time to resolve. Businesses have 10 days to make necessary corrections.

While inspections spotlight deficiencies, the focus is also on education. The health department aims to help businesses understand food safety and improve their practices, so having no violations doesn’t always mean a business is completely safe.

You can find detailed inspection reports for each establishment on the health department’s website. Here are some highlights from recent inspections:
