June restaurant health inspections for Hinds, Madison, Rankin counties

Twelve commercial restaurants in the Jackson metropolitan area failed health inspections during the month of June according to the Mississippi State Department of Health.

Upon a follow-up inspection, only 10 of the restaurants rectified the problems and earned a passing score from the MSDH as of press time. The other restaurants have not yet had follow-up inspections.

The number was a spike compared to May when eight restaurants received a failing grade. Only two failed in April, by contrast. Among the 12 that failed in June were some of the most popular restaurants in the area.

Below are the restaurants in MSDH District V that includes Hinds, Rankin and Madison counties that scored failing grades of “C” on the MSDH’s restaurant inspections for the month of June in the Jackson metropolitan area:
