Berks County is divided into three jurisdictions: Reading, Muhlenberg Township and the rest of the county. Reading and Muhlenberg Township have their own food safety inspectors and the rest of the county is inspected by Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture inspectors. The results will be posted every other week. All food vendors are inspected at least once a year. Other inspections can be triggered by a change of owner, a follow up if a facility had been out of compliance or by a complaint filed with the PDA. View any vendor’s last inspection report online. Click on the PDF version of the inspection report for all details. If a food provider is labeled out of compliance, that means it has one or more violations that require a return visit by an inspector. The establishment is given time to fix the problem(s) and remains open for business. Complaints can be filed online with the PDA. Below are the results of inspections conducted between Oct. 1 and Oct. 14, 2025, that were filed in the state database as of Oct. 16 at 4 p.m. Berks AEC Market, 332 State St., Hamburg, Oct. 14: one violation.
