Recurring health violations uncovered in NC university cafeteria

In a quick-hit investigation, Corey G. Johnson of the Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer, uncovered a history of sanitation violations in the Methodist University student cafeteria. "Since Sodexho opened the Green and Gold Cafe in October 2002, 19 inspection reports have pointed to recurring improper sanitation of food contact surfaces and the need to use approved cleaning methods, reports show. Staff also failed to keep foods at the proper temperature in six unannounced inspections since September 2004. Several visits, including one in November — which earned a 90 — found problems with roaches and ants." Since the March inspection, a school spokesperson claims they are trying to improve the conditions.
