In response to criticism of Florida's restaurant-inspection programs, regulators have, according to a legislative review, boosted staff, enhanced technology and made the state's inspection-report Web site more consumer-friendly.
But, the story says, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants, the agency that regulates restaurants, continues to fall short of state requirements that staff inspect all establishments — restaurants and hotels — for health and safety violations, according to a progress report by the Legislature's Office of Program Policy Analysis & Government Accountability.
Consumer advocates and industry experts applauded the improvements, made in response to a 2005 legislative report that noted numerous deficiencies. But some expressed concerns about state regulators' failure to meet requirements to inspect all facilities even though staff has increased in recent years.
Roy Costa, a national expert and consultant to the food industry, was quoted as saying, "The underlying thought here is that the effectiveness of the division is still in question. And the fact that they are not meeting the statutory requirements on inspections troubles me."
Carol Dover, president of the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, was cited as saying new leadership has made positive changes since Gov. Charlie Crist took office in January, but she has been dissatisfied with the number of inspections because of a shortage of inspectors, adding, "The Legislature needs to spend more on inspectors and provide the division with the additional resources they need."
NEW YORK: Sanitation and safety mandate for food establishments

WATERTOWN, N.Y.-- When you go out to eat you want to make sure that what's cooking in the back kitchen is clean. We've all heard about the food recalls and tainted vegetables. That's why in August of '08 the state is mandating that all food establishments have one person on staff that is trained and certified in sanitation and safety. Pope Vickers is a professor at Jefferson Community College as well as an instructor in ServSafe.
"ServSafe is a training method through the National Restaurant Association for all food handlers that seeks to combat food contamination, improve food safety through training people how to handle food safely through watching the correct temperatures, preventing cross contamination and so forth," said Pope Vickers, ServSafe Instructor.
Vickers says the ServSafe certification meets the state's new mandate.
With a number of food born illnesses and recalls in the past year; the state will soon require food service establishments to have one person on staff that is trained and certified in sanitation and safety training. But as News 10 Now's Amy Ohler explains, many restaurants aren't aware of the new mandate, which goes into effect next summer.
ONTARIO: Health unit serves up website with restaurant inspections

Customers will, according to this story, soon have additional information when choosing a place to dine, after the Porcupine Health Unit amends a policy to make inspection information public.
Until Jan. 1, 2008, anyone wishing to obtain information on a restaurant, in regards to violations, convictions or charges made by the health unit, had to file a freedom of information (FOI) request That's all about to change.
Health unit manager of inspection services Bob Bell was quoted as saying, "It was the policy of the health unit not to release that information unless there was a freedom of information request. Through discussions we decided to bring it to the board of health for a change in the policy."
Bell was further cited as saying on Oct. 19, the board unanimously voted in favour of the change.
Beginning Jan. 1, the public will be able to visit the health unit's website to see if any restaurants inspected have received critical infractions, charges, convictions or closures resulting from the inspections.
Bell said it was common practice for health units across the province to only provide information with an FOI request.
Only in recent years has that policy began to change, beginning in Toronto, Bell said.
Restaurant inspections will be available Jan. 1, 2008 at the Porcupine Health Unit site: www.porcupinehu.on.ca

CONNETICUT: Despite good scores, Wilton behind on food inspections

Wilton -- Roughly half of Wilton's restaurants, take out places, cafeterias and caterers are due for inspection by the town's public health department, according to a list of inspection scores.
The story says that of the 77 licensed food service establishments in town, 37 need evaluation according to Connecticut's public health code. Depending on the level of food service, restaurants must be inspected every 90, 120, 180 or 360 days.
On the last go around, none of those establishments received a failing score of below 80 out of 100, and there has not been an outbreak of foodborne illness since before the town's current health director, Steven Schole, was hired in 1993.
Schole was cited as saying limited staffing currently prevents the town from conducting more frequent inspections. One sanitarian, who normally works in Norwalk, handles the job now. Another part-time inspector left recently and will be replaced soon.
NY City fails more restaurants, but deli owner defends roaches

New York health inspectors were, according to this story, embarrassed earlier this year by video of rats running freely in a KFC.
Since then, the city has forced restaurants to shut down at a record pace.
A popular bakery in Queens is one of the latest eateries to be closed.
The story says that Jay Dee bakery, known for kosher treats, failed an inspection in September, and it's still closed. Violations included a 'vermin infestation' – which is the health department's term for rats and roaches.
The NY Daily News reported that Jay Dee's had both rats and roaches and that roaches were actually found in the bakery's flour.
Owner Willy Kazimov was quoted in the paper as saying, "This is Queens blvd, you can't stop roaches."
Back in February, a KFC/Taco Bell got a clean bill of health from a NY inspector, just one day before television cameras taped rats running all over chairs, tables, and countertops in the restaurant.
Since then, the New York health department stepped up inspections and the number of restaurants that failed inspections increased.
In February, the city shut down 93 restaurants for health violations. In March, after the rat video aired, the city closed 201 restaurants.
Kazimov was further quoted as saying, "They are becoming absolutely crazy. They think one roach is enough to close down every business in New York."

INDIANA: Restaurant inspection needs revised 'menu'
21.oct.07
The Post-Tribune
http://www.post-trib.com/news/opinion/611543,edit.article
A team of reporters looking at restaurant inspection in Northwest Indiana found a shortage of inspectors, vague laws, an archaic data system and a lack of resources for local health departments.
Indiana follows federal food-inspection standards that require places that sell food (from restaurants to gas stations) to be inspected twice a year. Inspectors are on the lookout for rodents, bugs and general cleanliness.
But if they find a business with problems, there's no clear-cut remedy for correcting the violations and making sure they don't happen again. More often than not, it depends on the inspector's memory or method of record keeping. Files aren't computerized, so there's no efficient way to track serious or so-called critical violations.
Even if a violation places a critical rating on a business, its fate is still up to the discretion of the inspector. In one case, proof of rodent infestation lingered for years without penalties being assessed or the business shut down. If critical violations are found, an inspector is expected to make an additional visit, but there are no guidelines on how soon that visit should take place.
Unlike Chicago, where hundreds of restaurants are shut down each year for violations, such a step rarely happens here, even when the violations are similar in scope.
Local health department officials weren't even aware that they could assess fines for violations ranging from $1 to $500 a day. With food scares making the news across the nation, it's time for NWI to make use of the best practices in keeping food service clean and safe.
VIETNAM: City lags in food safety inspections
19.oct.07
VietNamNet Bridge
http://english.vietnamnet.vn/social/2007/10/750343/
HCM City's Food Hygiene and Safety Department has, according to this story, been issuing certificates ensuring food processing standards for over a year now, but they say that only 10% of all units have actually bothered to undergo the necessary inspections.
According to the HCM City Health Department, around two thirds of the nation's total food supply is processed by units in HCM City, and as recently as 2006, the department managed 31,000 facilities.
Nguyen Duc An, inspector of the city's Health Department, was quoted as saying, "However, hundreds of thousands of family units have not registered with the department."
Things are unlikely to change any time soon as the city authorities just banned a new regulation, which would have fined all units not possessing certificates and would have come into effect on January 1.
At a meeting discussing food hygiene and safety management on Tuesday, representatives of the city's People's Committee raised concerns about the likelihood of cheating over the months of November and December as people sought to prepare for the new law, complicating its issue.

DQ: Is that Dairy Queen or DIRTY Queen? Chain has repeated violations

http://barfblog.foodsafety.ksu.edu/2007/10/articles/yuck-factor/dairy-queen-has-repeat-violations/index.html
A Dairy Queen in Daytona Beach has, according to this story, been fined $900 for repeated problems such as untrained employees handling food and foods held at dangerous temperatures.
The story says that based on a review of thousands of health inspections in 12 cities.Dairy Queen has one of the worst records in the fast food industry, often with critical violations that have not been corrected since the last inspection. The chain has one of the worst records in fast food for repeating the same health code violation time and again.
Employee hygiene is the number one problem at DQ – accounting for 22% of the chain's violations. Hygiene includes everything from workers not washing their hands to employees found eating and drinking in the kitchen.
Near Denver, for example, an inspector watched an employee "wipe nose, take money," and continue to prepare food without washing.
Other frequent employee problems included:
-Employees wiping dirty hands on their pants, then continuing to serve food.
-Employees handling foods such as burgers and bananas with their bare hands.
-Employees eating and drinking around food, which spreads germs.
At a Phoenix Dairy Queen, an inspector watched a drive-thru employee handling customers' food with an "open wound," obviously, a dangerous problem that can spread germs.
Food workers are required to have any wounds or sores completely covered.
The story goes on to say that an underlying problem at Dairy Queen -- and many fast food restaurants -- is a lack of training. Inspectors often found that both managers and employees at Dairy Queen had not been trained in safe food handling, or they had no proof that they had received required training.
Overall, the worst Dairy Queen locations were found in the Denver area, Miami, and Phoenix.
GEORGIA: Restaurant report card: Deadly dining

/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/741/RESTAURANT-REPORT-CARD-Deadly-dining.aspx
It’s still uncertain whether 52-year-old Delphine Barnes died from eating raw oysters at a restaurant on Virginia Avenue in East Point. Barnes’s family turned up the heat on Spondivits once they realized she had a bacterium called Vibrio in her system, which is often found in contaminated seafood. Delphine’s death certificate also said she had a liver disorder which may have been a contributing factor. Spondivits is now on probation with the Fulton County Health Department regarding the sale of raw shellfish.
Murphy says he confronted the manager at Spondivits in East Point four months before Delphine’s death for having seafood at unsafe temperatures. Cold food should be stored at 41 degrees or lower and hot food at 140 degrees or higher. If food is not at the proper temperature it can cause you to become sick. Unfortunately, there were several restaurants in September that failed to store their food at the proper temperature levels.
Baby Jane’s Home Cooking in McDonough failed with only 45 points which is no where near a perfect score of 100. The health report says broccoli, cabbage and potatoes were at unsafe temperatures. I confronted management at the restaurant and they kindly kicked us out during their busy lunch hour. Baby Jane’s Home Cooking scored 80 points on a reinspection. In Gwinnett County, Hong Kong Buffet on Stone Mountain Highway scored only 47 points. The report says chicken wings were at 76 degrees on the buffet when they should have been above 140 degrees. That’s more than 60 degrees out of temperature range. Hong Kong Buffet received 88 points on a reinspection. Here’s some more food for thought: Rising Roll on Virginia Avenue in Hapeville struggled with 54 points. The report says chicken salad, roast beef, salami and tuna were all at dangerous temperature levels.
You can get all the dirty details on my weekly Restaurant Report Card on CBS 46 every Thursday at 4 p.m. and Fridays at noon. You can also catch all of my reports in streaming video at www.cbs.com. I also mention really good scores in my report, and I even feature a restaurant that scored better than 90 points on its last health inspection. It’s my job to keep restaurant managers on their toes so that no one ever has to deal with a deadly dining experience. SP
