Four convenience stores, two restaurants and a hotel in Wichita were out of compliance during food safety and lodging inspections conducted by the Kansas Department of Agriculture last week.
Their problems include hand-washing sinks that didn’t have hot water for various reasons, a cook that didn’t wash their hands after handling raw chicken, food on a hotel breakfast buffet that wasn’t kept hot or cold enough, cracked and broken cooking equipment, a moldy or mildew-contaminated soda machine, old queso and mole sauce and raw meats that were stored with ready-to-eat foods, according to inspection reports.
Information about the seven establishments and a summary of their violations appear below. The list was compiled Feb. 14 and includes inspections conducted in Sedgwick County from Feb. 4-10.
More than 50 establishments passed inspections during that time. Some may have been non-compliant in previous weeks.
