Of those, 136 were routine inspections, 24 followed complaints and 10 were licensing inspections for new or changed businesses. The routine inspections found an average of 0.21 high priority violations each, and 113 of the 136 found none. Across all of Pasco County in the same file, routine inspections averaged 0.61 high priority violations.
No emergency closure orders at a Wesley Chapel ZIP code address were in the file for this period; there were five countywide.
How to read this. Each inspection is a snapshot. The division says a restaurant may have more or fewer violations on any given day than its latest report shows, and one inspection may not represent long-term conditions. A warning means violations were found that must be fixed by a set date; it is not a closure.
What the results mean
From the division’s definitions:
- Inspection Completed, No Further Action: conditions did not need a follow-up visit. The restaurant is inspected again at its next routine interval.
- Warning: violations must be corrected by a set date. The inspector comes back to check.
- Call Back, Complied: a return visit after a warning found the violations corrected.
- Time extension: granted on a return visit if all high priority violations are fixed and real progress has been made on the rest.
- Administrative complaint recommended: the inspector asked for formal enforcement action. It is a recommendation, not a finding.
- Emergency order: a closure for conditions such as no hot water, sewage backups, fire damage, pest infestation or failed refrigeration. The division calls it a protective step, not discipline; the restaurant stays closed until the problem is fixed.
The three kinds of violation
- High priority: could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury.
- Intermediate: could lead to those risks if not addressed.
- Basic: best practices.
Florida follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 2017 Food Code, the division says. Every licensed restaurant gets one to four unannounced inspections a year, depending on the kind of food it serves, how it prepares it and its inspection history, plus extra visits after complaints.
Method
We downloaded the division’s current District 3 food service inspection file on Oct. 9, 2026, kept inspections with a Pasco County address in ZIP code 33543, 33544 or 33545, and counted them by result. ZIP code 33559, which takes in part of southwest Wesley Chapel, is mostly Lutz and was left out. We do not rank or name individual restaurants on this page. To see one restaurant’s full report, use the state’s inspection search. This page is updated as the state posts new data.
What this means for you
- Check a restaurant’s latest report before you book a party there.
- A warning is not a closure; in this period, 10 call-back visits found the violations fixed.
- Report what you see to the state, not the county.
