Low Risk

Across the available record, Wendys has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The most recent report on file is from Dec 9, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “equipment and utensils not properly air-dried - wet nesting” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to the broader Alachua restaurant scene, where the average is 75, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
