This ongoing series draws from the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health and Quality, which conducts thousands of annual inspections to ensure food establishments meet critical safety standards. When serious violations are identified, closures and grading downgrades are issued until the issues are resolved.
Below, we outline closures and downgrades from May 16鈥�22, 2025, including the reasons cited by county health inspectors. Any violations marked as "Null" are explained by county representatives as resulting from a "technological issue with the SD Food Info App."
