Restaurant inspections
County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues to correct. The county’s full ongoing reports can be accessed here.
- El Taco Taco – New at 2890 Chad Dr, was cited for issues during a county health inspection on October 5. The restaurant scored 95 out of 100. The inspector found that raw eggs and raw chorizo were stored above ready-to-eat foods in the refrigerator, risking cross-contamination. Food must be stored in covered containers, with raw animal foods placed below ready-to-eat items according to cooking temperature requirements. Personal foods must also be stored to avoid contamination. During a follow-up inspection, the restaurant corrected these issues, properly storing all raw animal foods and employee foods according to Oregon food safety rules. (view report)
