Iowa restaurant inspections: Gnats floating in tequila, sauce with ‘moldy fuzz’

[RicoSuave102954]

State, city and county food inspectors have cited Iowa restaurants and stores for hundreds of food-safety violations during the past four weeks, including moldy food, expired milk and gnats floating in the liquor.

One Des Moines eatery agreed to voluntarily close in order repair a cooler that was keeping food at 60 degrees and to provide staff training in sanitizing the establishment.

The findings are reported by the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing, which handles food-establishment inspections at the state level. Listed below are some of the more serious findings that stem from inspections at Iowa restaurants, stores, schools, hospitals and other businesses over the past four weeks.

The state inspections department reminds the public that their reports are a “snapshot” in time, and violations are often corrected on the spot before the inspector leaves the establishment.

I thought Kim got rid of these anti-business inspections?!

I guarantee you have a bar with say 50+ bottles of booze with pour spouts in them, at least one of them will have bugs in it.

I’ve never looked at those things and just assumed they had some kind of flap in them that moves during a poor. With all of the sugar liqueurs it would be surprising to not find bugs in something.

But what about their dress code? That’s the important question.

Finding violations is one thing.

Having the resources recheck in six months is another.

If it's like what Republicans have done to the DNR...there will never be a reinspection/followup.

There are some that have flaps, but those are more for forcing bartenders to not overpour and they suck.

If you aren't a shitty restaurant and care about food safety, you clean pour spouts at a minimum nightly and use caps on the ends during close.

Fruit flies around means you're doing the bare minimum and it's gross.

The ice machine at Martinis in Iowa City was deplorable the gunk that constantly fell out. Makes me want to puke to this day.
Oh the pilot light constantly running on a not in use stove also nice.

Nasty. I worked a Pizza Hut and our manager was anal about the ice machine, we had one machine that we filled the hoppers of the soda machines with. We had to scoop out all ice and clean it out every other week and there was something she did with the filters. But after doing that so much I start noticing how often you would see black specks in ice from restaurants, that’s mold. I don’t get ice often

I never get ice at private places.

I have seen them cleaning the machines at Kwik Star. I trust them.
