Many of the violations are corrected on the spot prior to the inspector leaving the establishment.<\/p>\n<p>If a food provider is considered \u201cout of compliance,\u201d that means it has one or more violations that require a return visit by an inspector. The establishment is given time to fix the violations and remains open for business.<\/p>\n<p>You can view the complete inspection reports for any establishment in the Department of Agriculture\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pafoodsafety.pa.gov\/Web\/Inspection\/PublicInspectionSearch.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> food safety inspection database<\/a>.
