The licenses of two Perrysburg eateries have been suspended, due to numerous Wood County Health Department violations.
At Thursday’s county board of health meeting, the suspensions for Yum Yummy, 10677 Fremont Pike, and Nedley’s Ice Cream and Coffee Cafe, 200 E. South Boundary St., were unanimously approved.
The suspension for Yum Yummy is 14 days.
Lana Glore, environmental health director, said that the restaurant has a history dating back to 2019. The health department set up a meeting with the restaurant staff in October and went over some things to get compliant, Glore said.
There were more violations in January, followed by an administrative hearing on March 6.
“We went through the process … and there was no improvement,” said board member Dallas Ziegler.
Board President Tom Milbrodt said that these decisions aren’t made lightly
“It is important to note that it is a lengthy process … and the final step is this administrative hearing,” he said.
Nedley’s license will be suspended for seven days, then undergo a re-inspection, Ziegler said.
“The process was similar. There was an education process and numerous times they had critical violations,” Milbrodt said.
In January, both businesses had several violations during inspections.
Yum Yummy had four critical and six non-critical violations.
Critical were food not properly protected from contamination by separation, packaging, and segregation; food equipment surfaces not cleaned at required frequency; equipment food-contact surfaces or utensils are unclean; and temperature-controlled food foods not being cold held at the proper temperature.
