Violations Close Fast Food Restaurant
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Citing five “critical violations,” The Kansas City Health Department has shut down a Texas Tom's restaurant.During a routine inspection of the Texas Tom's at 709 E. Linwood, officials discovered a malfunctioning refrigerator where food was being stored at temperatures above 70 degrees.
Inspectors also found unclean conditions on food surfaces and cited the restaurant for not having proper sanitizer liquids in the dishwashing area.
Officials say the restaurant also failed to properly date mark items, so there was no way to tell whether their food was fresh.
“The establishment was closed because, among other violations, the walk-in coolers were broken, and the food in the coolers was outside the safe temperature zone and had to be discarded,” said department spokesman Jeff Hershberger.
The health department report indicates the restaurant may reopen after resolving the violations and passing another inspection.
The walk in at 70? That's just nasty! I haven't been to a TT since high school. I guess it will be a while longer.
