South Mississippi restaurant health inspection recap: April-June 2025
In South Mississippi, restaurant inspections highlighted repeat offenders and notable sanitation issues in the second quarter of 2025. Several articles report failing grades mostly due to critical violations involving pests and cleanliness.
A Waveland restaurant failed for the fourth time since 2020 with issues related to pests like bugs and rodents. The health department did not specify the pest type but recorded this recurring violation since 2020.
A food truck in Gulfport failed due to inadequate hand washing stations and contaminated food surfaces. Follow-up inspections managed to correct these issues.
A restaurant faced eight violations, including unsanitary food and improper storage, marking its first failure after previous clean records.
