FREDERICKSBURG, VA Officials from the Rappahannock Area Health District inspected multiple food storage and preparation businesses across the Fredericksburg area from April 13 to April 19, including two locations with violations.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many inspections are being conducted virtually. So, the listed violations may not be an all-encompassing rundown of all the violations at a particular establishment.
