Evidence of pests found at Columbia daycare
The Columbia/Boone County Public Health Department inspected at least 30 eateries in the last week.
During one of those visits, a health department inspector found signs of pests at a Columbia daycare.
Shalom Christian Daycare was inspected Monday and is scheduled for a follow-up inspection Friday.
The inspection note said the department received a complaint about pests at the daycare. The note said the food stored in the storage unit was being thrown away at the time of the inspection because of pests. The inspector noted that all food will need to be removed from the unit and employee food will need to be labeled by the follow-up inspection.
Shalom Christian Daycare: 6/10, follow-up scheduled for 6/14:
Four critical violations: Food stored in storage unit showed evidence of pest contamination, pest harborage present as well. Food in the storage unit was damaged, potentially hazardous food was left out on a table and was at 72 degrees. Inspectors also found a dented can, which was thrown away during the inspection. Five non-critical violations: Light bulb in the refrigerator’s kitchen was in disrepair (the report said the daycare needs to get a light bulb shield in order to prevent glass breakage in food), employee food was stored with food for children, some items were not labeled and food for the daycare was stored off-site in a storage unit, which is susceptible to contamination.
