You'll soon be able to access thousands more restaurant inspection reports online.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture says it'll start including reports from counties and municipalities that have their own inspection programs on its website.
The Department of Agriculture has already been posting restaurant inspection reports online, but this year they're beefing up their data base.
The places to eat on Restaurant Row in Downtown Harrisburg have a city inspector come in and check things out to make sure health codes aren't violated.
But his inspection reports have never been posted on the state's inspection website for anyone to review.
Now, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is working to change that, which means that by the end of this year about 60,000 more inspections which are done by counties and municipalities will be online for all to see.
"I think that's a great idea. I think the more inspections that you do, the healthier it'll be for people who are, their immune systems might be compromised," believes Sandy Conklin, who likes the changes.
Even though the reports will be out there for you to review, one man says he doesn't care to see them.
"I really wouldn't pay that much attention to it,” Jere Schrom told us. “If I want to eat at the restaurant, I'll eat at the restaurant, if they say something bad about it, I'll probably eat there."
The Ag Dept. already oversees about 40,000 restaurants and diners in towns that don't have their own inspection programs.
