CASPER, Wyo. — The Casper-Natrona County Health Department inspects restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores, mobile food units, commissaries, and retail food operations. Each facility has an unannounced inspection at least twice a year.
According to the department, “there are three types of violations: priority, priority base, and core.”
While the health department looks for deficiencies, the organization’s primary goal is to educate businesses, helping them understand unsafe practices and ways to correct them.
According to the manager of the Environmental Health program in Natrona County, “there is no sliding scale or pass or fail of a health inspection.” Every violation is fixed immediately or within 10 days, which means that a violation does not make the business unsafe.
If a new inspection is required, the problem could have been more serious or the facility required more time to fix. They have 10 days to fix the problem, and according to Heald, most facilities can easily meet the requirement.
Any serious violations or notable listings will be included in the summary notes below, but each restaurant’s full report can be found on the department’s website, where it posts all of its current information.

Be sure to change the labels so that the dates above are not in or will have to be discarded during inspections as they will be assumed to be past their expiration date.”
