There are unacceptable conditions in the public school districts' cafeterias.
These major food- safety violations could lead to food-borne illnesses.
Some of the most serious violations include such things as serving meats or poultry at unsafe temperatures or dented cans in the schools' pantries, a botulism risk.
Some of the minor violations include things like mold-like substances, grease accumulations and rodent droppings. Most of the town's public schools have other minor violations such as missing soap, dripping refrigerators, dirty equipment and general disrepair.
Another problem is flies, dead roaches and rodent droppings in kitchens, The district should get a new pest-control contractor, and make sure extermination is done weekly.
There is also rusted equipment, a lack of three-bay sinks for washing, rinsing and sanitizing, messy garbage storage, missing sneeze guards, and dirty refrigerator door gaskets.
Something must be done immediately about the major food-safety violations related to the storage of prepared foods at unsafe temperatures.
