Two Cleveland restaurants fail inspections after improperly storing food | Local News

Two fail scores in Cleveland this week after an inspector found chicken was undercooked at one restaurant and improper storage techniques were being used at another.

Japanese Hibachi Express on Spring Creek Boulevard scored a 46 and Burrito Xpress on Inman Street scored a 63.

At Japanese Hibachi Express, the inspector observed an employee not changing gloves between cleaning and grilling, as well as between using wiping cloths and preparing food.

A raw steak was found stored on uncovered sauces.

The inspector says the floor, ceiling and walls were very dirty.

Containers intended for one-time use were washed and reused for other food products.

The chicken was only cooked to 127-156 degrees where it should be cooked to at least 185 degrees.

The utensils were only rinsed before being put away as clean.

The inspector noted that a clean metal cooking pot was stored on the floor, along with cans of broccoli in the cold room.

The inspector also suggested the restaurant take the food safety training course through the Bradley County Health Department.

At Burrito Xpress, the inspector said handwashing techniques were poor and the sink had no hot water. An employee was seen handling raw beef, then proceeded to clean dishes without washing their hands.

It was found that employees were not wearing jewelry properly in the food preparation area.

The toilets were in poor condition and had no covered bin.

According to the inspector, the dishes were not disposed of before being washed and were stored clean with food residues. They were then stacked wet and did not air dry properly.

Several wet disinfectant wipes were stored outside the disinfection solution.

The food was being held past its seven-day disposal date and the restaurant had to throw away 15 pounds of food.

The raw beef was left to thaw for the next day on the counter. Cooked food was not hot enough and water levels in steam wells were not correct.

The inspector said there was no consistent dating procedure in the restaurant.

The owner of Burrito Xpress met with the inspector and they discussed cooling methods.

If you have a question about a restaurant, hotel, pool, or gym, call your local health department.
