Saline County inspections flag ICEE buildup, out-of-date food

Key takeaways

  • Black buildup was found in an ICEE machine.
  • Food was held past its use-by dates.
  • The findings came from Saline County restaurant inspections.

Saline County restaurant inspections identified two food-safety concerns: black buildup inside an ICEE machine and food kept beyond its use-by dates.

The findings involve both equipment condition and food-date control. The inspection information does not identify the restaurant, inspection date, amount of food involved or any follow-up action.

Equipment condition

Black buildup was found in an ICEE machine during a Saline County restaurant inspection. The finding raises a question about the condition and cleaning of beverage equipment, but the inspection details do not state what action was taken.

Food dates

Inspectors also found food held beyond its use-by dates. The information does not state which foods were involved, how long they had been kept or whether they were discarded.

What happens next

Any follow-up would depend on the restaurant inspection process and the records for the businesses involved. Those records would show the restaurant name, inspection date, corrective steps and whether another inspection was scheduled.

What to watch

  • Any follow-up inspection records.
  • Whether corrective steps are documented.
  • Whether the restaurant and inspection date are identified in public records.
