McDonald's Locations Among Businesses Flagged in Laramie County Health Inspections

Two McDonald's locations appeared in Laramie County's recent public health inspection records under notably different circumstances: one walked away with zero violations, while the other logged violations serious enough to trigger a reinspection notice.

McDonald's store #39929 was flagged during the March 6–12, 2026 inspection window, drawing both violations and a reinspection notice from Laramie County public health officials. The specific number of violations and inspector comments were not available in the public summary, and the full inspection log entry for that store appears to have been published without complete detail in the initial roundup. McDonald's store #24984, inspected on March 3, recorded zero violations and required no follow-up.

When a reinspection is required, the facility has 10 days to address the problem. According to Capcity News, which tracked the county's inspection results across multiple facilities during this period, a reinspection flag can signal that "the issue might have been more severe or the facility required more time to fix it."

The two McDonald's entries were not the only notable findings across Laramie County during early March. Mary's Mountain Cookies led the roundup with eight violations and a mandated reinspection as of a March 2 inspection, though no specific violation descriptions were published in the available summary.

Sonic SGH drew six violations on March 3, with inspector notes describing a broken reach-in cooler door near the fryer, soda splatter on the ceiling and behind syrup boxes, broken tiles and an active water leak in the walk-in cooler, heavy grease buildup in the fryer, and a mop that had not been hung to dry. Despite the volume of findings, no reinspection was required.

Natural Grocers was cited for two violations, but inspector observations attached to the entry covered a broader range of concerns: an unapproved milk rebottling operation using a sealing machine, a chlorine sanitizer bottle registering zero parts per million, 10 buckets of egg-containing cookie dough held between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a quat sanitizer bottle testing above 400 parts per million, unlabeled self-serve grab-and-go items, a missing hair restraint, and a three-compartment sink that was not indirectly drained.

Loaf & Jug #119 Vandehei received one violation for debris buildup under shelves in the walk-in cooler and freezer, while the Laramie County Library was cited once for a metal cup left in a hand wash sink. Neither required reinspection.

Laramie County public health officials frame the inspection process as primarily educational. "While the department is looking for deficiencies, the organization's main goal is to educate businesses, helping them understand unsafe practices and ways to correct them," the county's inspection summary notes, adding that a clean result does not guarantee a facility is risk-free. Full inspection reports for all listed businesses are available through the Laramie County health department's website.
