The Anne Arundel County Department of Health temporarily closed an Odenton food service establishment because of emergency circumstances discovered during inspections between March 1 and 15.

Cho Son Oak, 1538 Annapolis Road in Odenton, was closed March 6 because of a sewage overflow and reopened later that day, health officials said.

County health workers inspect restaurants and other food service establishments routinely to monitor the sanitary and physical conditions at each establishment.

They closely evaluate them for nine critical food safety items that are likely to contribute to food-borne illness.

Between March 1 and 15, health workers inspected 171 restaurants and other food service establishments.

They found 21 with food safety violations that were corrected immediately and one with multiple violations.

Faye's Sub Shop, 445 N. Crain Highway in Glen Burnie, was cited for having food not adequately cooked and reheated and for food not held at the proper temperature.
