Jefferson City health inspections show few big violators
Jefferson City health inspectors looked at 45 food establishments in the month of April, 14 of which were not cited with a single violation.
In the report, there were 20 eateries that received between one and three violations. Meanwhile, nine were cited with more than four violations.
Jefferson City Public Schools facilities appeared multiple times on the list of establishments with no citations. The report found the dishwasher at Jefferson City High School was dysfunctional on April 23; however, the situation was rectified as staff members cleaned dishes by hand.
“The booster heater used to sanitize dishes is currently not functioning, so per Department of Health guidelines, food service staff members have been sanitizing and air drying the dishes manually after they have been washed in the commercial dishwasher,” said JCPS spokesperson Ryan Burns. “Friday will be the last day the high school kitchen will use the dishwasher in its current state before the entire area is renovated over the summer break.”
The restaurants with the most violations in April were El Espolon Mexican Restaurant and Biggs Barbecue Company on High Street, both with 10.
