Natrona County Health Department's Restaurant Inspections: January 23-29, 2026
CASPER, Wyo. — The Casper-Natrona County Health Department conducted inspections of various food establishments in the area from January 23 to 29, 2026. These inspections aimed to ensure food safety and educate businesses on maintaining high standards.
The department employs a unique three-tier violation system: priority, priority foundation, and core. While the primary focus is on educating businesses, any violations are addressed promptly.
According to the Environmental Health Program Manager in Natrona County, there's no pass or fail in health inspections. Violations are either resolved immediately or within a 10-day window. This means a violation doesn't automatically render a business unsafe.
If a re-inspection is necessary, it could indicate a more severe issue or a need for additional time to rectify the problem. The department provides 10 days for corrections, and most facilities can meet this requirement.
The full inspection reports are available on the department's website, offering transparency and detailed insights into each establishment's performance.
Here's a summary of the inspections conducted during the specified period:
- Ed's: No violations, no re-inspection required.
- Pizza Hut Events/CY: No violations, no re-inspection required.
- Ford Wyoming Center: 2 violations, no re-inspection required. Comments: The dish machine's temperature was below the recommended 154F, and food boxes were stored on the floor of the walk-in freezer.
