People dining out in Baltimore will have new access to information about health violations at city restaurants and carryouts under legislation approved Monday by the City Council. Under the legislation, patrons will be able to check the Health Department's website and social media accounts for timely updates on restaurant violations, such as rat infestations or failures to keep meat cool. "We want to have the violations posted in real time, so people can make an informed decision about where they want to eat their meals or obtain their food items," said Dr. Leana Wen, the city's health commissioner.
