Lancaster County, S.C. – The South Carolina Department of Agriculture conducted 69 food establishment inspections across Lancaster County in May 2025. The inspections covered a range of routine checks, complaint investigations, and follow-up visits to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
Of the 69 inspections, two establishments initially received a grade of “B” but successfully improved their ratings to “A” after follow-up evaluations. These establishments included:
-
521 BBQ & Grill in Lancaster
-
Smalls Food Center in Heath Springs
Each business addressed the noted deficiencies promptly, meeting the standards required for an “A” grade during their respective re-inspections.
Most establishments in the county maintained high standards, earning “A” grades either during their initial inspections or upon follow-up. The inspections spanned a variety of food service operations, including fast food chains, local diners, coffee shops, and grocery store delis.
Routine inspections formed the bulk of the activity, while a smaller number of evaluations were prompted by complaints or conducted as part of new business openings and permit processes.
Below is a complete list of inspected businesses and their ratings.
