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.

  • Dough Co., The at 1337 Hilyard St., passed a county health inspection on August 10 with no issues. (view report)
     
  • Subway Sandwich Shop #350 at 1304 Hilyard St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on August 10. The restaurant scored 95 out of 100. The inspector found that sliced vegetables in the sandwich prep cooler were stored at unsafe temperatures (above 41°F) because ice was not properly surrounding the food containers. The restaurant was told to fix this immediately by using an ice bath correctly or storing smaller portions in the meat cooler and keeping extra stock in the undercounter fridge. Additionally, racks in the walk-in cooler had dirt buildup and need to be cleaned regularly to prevent soil accumulation. A follow-up inspection will happen within 14 days. (view report)
