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.
- Mod Pizza – Springfield at 1820 Olympic St., passed a county health inspection on April 6 with no issues. (view report)
- Jasper’s Mohawk Deli at 1665 18th St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on April 6. The restaurant scored 90 out of 100. The inspector found the sanitizer in the three-compartment sink was too weak but it was fixed during the visit. Cream cheese was stored too warm at 45°F, but the fridge was adjusted to keep food at safe temperatures below 41°F. The south restroom door lacks a self-closing mechanism and needs repair. The plaster and paint near the mop sink are deteriorating and require fixing. Some ceiling tiles in food prep and washing areas are damaged and should be replaced with smooth, durable, and easy-to-clean tiles. (view report)
