Eatery Inspection Reports Are Tough to Get

Story air date: Monday, September 12, 2011

Garcia's Pizza In A Pan on Green Street in Champaign failed two health inspections before closing in 2008.

About one in 10 restaurants in Champaign County failed a health inspection from April 2007 through April 2011, according to a review of inspection records by CU-CitizenAccess.org. But customers have no easy way of knowing just how sanitary the places at which they eat really are. Dan Petrella reports.
