Restaurant Inspections
Editor’s note: The information below was compiled from reports of the Bartholomew County Health Department.

Noncritical violations, if not corrected, could lead to critical violations or make critical violations more likely to occur. Noncritical violations typically do not have to be corrected until the next inspection.
