114 health code violations from May added to BND Restaurant Inspection Database
The Belleville News-Democrat has added more than 100 health code violations from May to its Metro-east Restaurant Inspection Database.
The database contains health inspectors’ findings from all of the inspections they conducted so far this year at restaurants across St. Clair County.
In May, inspectors cited 48 restaurants for a total of 114 health code violations. Most of the cited restaurants had one violation, but inspectors uncovered as many as 10 violations at a single location.
Rodent droppings and black debris in a sugar container were among their findings in the last month.

The database now includes 299 restaurants.
St. Clair County has a total of 1,028 restaurants, which receive unannounced, routine inspections from the health department two to three times a year. The health department will also send inspectors to investigate a complaint or to follow up on issues they identified in a routine inspection.
The BND will continue updating the database monthly to bring readers the latest inspection results.
