City brings back routine food inspections

Inspectors with the Albuquerque Environmental Health Department are back at ensuring the city’s diners aren’t getting dangerous vittles.

The department had scaled back its efforts and conducted only pre-opening and complaint-based inspections while a new food safety and retail ordinance was put into place and inspectors were trained on the new rules.

Routine inspections were brought back Tuesday, according to a city press release.

“It’s our mission to ensure the highest level of food safety protection to our community,” department deputy director Dr. Mark DiMenna said. “People should feel confident that we are consistently enforcing food safety practices when they dine out in Albuquerque.”
