Recent health inspections across multiple counties in Florida and Texas have revealed a mixed landscape of restaurant compliance. In Florida, numerous restaurants received perfect scores, including 7 in Gadsden County, 4 in Alachua County, 5 in Okaloosa County, 9 in Sarasota area, 3 in Marion County, 8 in Lee County along with 5 food trucks and 1 caterer, 2 in Collier County with 1 caterer, 17 in Palm Beach County, 7 in Martin County, 3 in St. Lucie County, and 2 in Indian River County. However, several establishments were cited for high-priority violations or failed inspections, with issues ranging from flying pests in Brevard County to rodent droppings and roach infestations in multiple locations. Notably, 3 South Florida restaurants were shut due to roach infestations and spider colonies, while others faced closures for rodent droppings, mold, and other sanitation violations. In Dallas-Fort Worth, eight restaurants were found with roaches, and multiple restaurants closed following health inspections revealing dead mice and rodent droppings. Additional closures occurred in Fort Worth and Frisco. In Collier County, a restaurant was temporarily closed after 25 rodent droppings were found, and in Perdido Key, a restaurant was temporarily closed due to 121 rodent droppings. The inspections highlight ongoing challenges in maintaining food safety standards, with some counties reporting both high numbers of perfect scores and multiple failures or closures. Reports also noted 23 El Paso restaurants receiving grade C in recent inspections and Delaware County inspections revealing old rodent droppings and ice machine mold.
