• Cheese stored in refrigerator contaminated by raw animal food: Restaurant Inspections, June 11, 2026 (berksweekly.com) — State inspectors recently cited Midtown on Penn Avenue in West Reading for lacking a way to verify the final rinse temperature on its hot-water sanitizing dishwasher, though the owner ordered temperature strips during the visit. The report also lists numerous other Berks County restaurants with mostly minor food-safety violations and several that passed with no issues, offering a snapshot of current inspection activity.
