Berks County is divided into three jurisdictions: Reading, Muhlenberg Township and the rest of the county. Reading and Muhlenberg Township have their own food safety inspectors, and the rest of the county is inspected by inspectors from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
The results will be published every two weeks. All food vendors are inspected at least once a year. Other inspections can be triggered by a change in ownership, a follow-up if an installation was not compliant, or by a complaint filed with the PDA.

If a food supplier is labeled non-compliant, it means they have one or more violations that require a return visit by an inspector. The property has time to resolve the issue(s) and remains open for business.
Below are the results of inspections conducted between August 31 and September 13, 2022, which were filed in the state database on September 15 at 5 p.m.
Please note: The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture website did not show any reports made by its inspectors for Berks during this date range from 9 p.m. No one from the ministry was available to comment on the reason at midnight.
