San Bernardino County Closes Restaurants for Health Violations

San Bernardino County health inspectors ordered the closure of several restaurants and food vendors between February 19 and February 26, 2023, due to health violations. This action reflects ongoing efforts to ensure food safety and public health in the region.

Recent Closures and Reasons

Among the establishments closed was Big Bear Coffee Roasting Co., located at 41080 Big Bear Blvd., Big Bear Lake, which shut down on February 24. The closure was prompted by a lack of sufficient hot water, a critical requirement for food preparation and sanitation.

Another affected business was Haven Mart, situated at 7900 Haven Ave., Suite 23, Rancho Cucamonga, which was closed on February 25. This closure was due to a rodent infestation, a significant health hazard that can lead to serious foodborne illnesses.

These closures are part of a weekly report published by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, which updates the public on food establishments that have been closed for health-related issues. The status of these businesses is typically updated the following week, providing transparency and accountability.

Public Health Commitment

The proactive measures taken by health inspectors are aimed at protecting the community from potential health risks associated with foodborne illnesses. By enforcing health regulations, officials ensure that local restaurants and food vendors maintain sanitary conditions and adhere to established food safety standards.

The closures serve as a reminder for food establishments to prioritize health and safety practices, ensuring a safe dining experience for customers. Maintaining compliance with health regulations not only protects public health but also helps businesses build trust with their patrons.

As inspections continue, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health remains committed to monitoring and regulating food safety across the region, supporting the well-being of its residents. The public is encouraged to stay informed about local food safety issues by reviewing weekly closure reports.

For further updates and information, residents can refer to the reports issued by the health department, which also detail establishments that have successfully reopened after addressing the cited health violations.
