Several Columbia restaurants are now under the microscope after health inspectors elevated some ongoing cleanliness issues to critical violations. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, for example, failed to fix problems like dust and grease buildup, while other local favorites—like McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and Subway—were cited for dirty equipment, missing food safety certificates, and improper food storage. While some places fixed issues on the spot, others have until spring to clean up. With so many repeat violations, it’s worth asking: How much do you trust your go-to spots to keep things safe and clean? #Health #BodyHealth #ColumbiaMO
