Restaurant Inspections!

NOTE: The Naugatuck Valley Health District provided the Valley Indy with a summary of its food service inspection report for the month of May. 

Anything below 80 is categorized as failing. A restaurant may also fail if it receives a single, serious violation.

This month, the Naugatuck Valley Health District included information about which establishments required re-inspections because of violations.

Those details — as well as the violations — are included in the list. All establishments were re-inspected two weeks after the date of violations.
