YORK, Pa (WJAC) — The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture announced on Wednesday the launch of a new mobile app, available for both Apple and Android users, that will allow potential restaurant customers to have full access to state health inspection reports for any restaurants they are considering for a meal.
The EatSafePA app provides users with complete access to thousands of restaurant and retail food establishment inspection reports, including violations and inspector comments, allowing consumers to dine with peace of mind.
“Food safety is our top priority, it. It affects all Pennsylvanians,” said Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “EatSafePA gives Pennsylvanians easy access to the latest restaurant inspections no matter where they are in the commonwealth, allowing them to dine with confidence.”
Every year, millions of people fall ill to foodborne illnesses and this app was created to help lessen the number of such incidents here in Pennsylvania.
"As service industry professionals, we pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our guests and in our community, and the most fundamental element of that process is serving safe food. When our guests visit us the last thing they should be concerned with is the safety and quality of the food,” said The First Post General Manager, Brendon Gray. “At The First Post, we challenge ourselves every day to operate with integrity and genuine care for our guests. The proper safety measures, sanitation, and preparation of our food and the maintenance of our facilities is integral to that goal. We are very excited to be involved with a program which advances that same goal and embodies that same care for our community."
“At the end of the day, it’s about transparency,” added Redding. “Everyone deserves to know that the food they consume is prepared safely and isn’t coming with a side of illness-inducing bacteria.”
