Detroit Tigers Inc., 2135 N Lake Ave, Lakeland: On March 26, a cafeteria at the baseball training facility had seven violations, including three high priority. Among the high-priority violations, one was for a dish machine that wasn’t mixing sanitizer properly. The other two were for cream cheese and milk that were being held above 41 degrees.
There were three intermediate violations: one for a soiled can opener, one for no paper towels or hand-drying equipment at the handwash sink, and one for an unwrapped apple on the breakfast bar. A lone basic violation was for improperly labeled protein balls in a self-service case in the dining room. In a follow-up inspection on April 2, the establishment passed with zero violations.
Remember that in some cases, violations are noted are technical issues not directly linked to hygiene or cleanliness. Remember, too, that broken refrigerators, chipped tiles, or fast work may add up to unintended mistakes.
Regardless, if you notice abuses of state standards, report them and DBPR will send inspectors. Call 1-850-487-1395.
