Cheyenne, Wyoming — The Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department checks restaurants, bars, convenience stores, and other food-related businesses. Each place is inspected at least twice a year without prior notice.
There are two main types of violations the inspectors look for: critical and non-critical. Critical violations can lead to foodborne illnesses, while non-critical violations are more about cleanliness and general maintenance. The department tries to address critical violations immediately or within 24 hours. Non-critical issues need fixing too, but they may not be checked again until the next scheduled inspection.
If a facility needs a reinspection, it usually means the problem was serious. They then have 10 days to resolve the issue. While inspectors do find violations, their goal is to educate business owners about safe practices and how to fix any problems. Just because a business has no violations does not mean it is automatically safe; the inspectors aim to ensure all establishments understand their responsibilities.
The summaries below highlight some notable violations. You can find the complete reports for each facility on the health department’s website.
