Beware of phony health inspectors | Business

An important warning from the Tennessee Department of Health.

There are fake health inspectors on the prowl.

The health department says people are posing as health inspectors who call to arrange restaurant inspections and then they demand payment.

Most of the reports are from Asian cuisine restaurants.

The department of health wants all restaurant owners to know they will never demand or collect payment for inspections of restaurants, and regular inspections are unannounced.
