Bakeries in Miami shouldn’t have problem pastelitos or coffee equipment not washed and sanitized enough. Nobody should have mold on food.
Each of the above and more made the Aug. 30 state inspection report on the Don Pan at 9280 Bird Rd./SW 40th St., which received “Re-Inspection Required,” the lowest rating possible.
Here’s some of what Florida Department of Agriculture Inspector Julio Azpurua saw during his visit:
▪ In the backroom, “some oranges found with white, mold-like substances inside the box stored at the walk-in cooler.” With the white stuff came Stop Sales on the oranges.
▪ The kitchen could use a knife holder. “Multiple knives in use were wedged between the preparation reach-in cooler and the table with the food warmer.”
▪ “The ice scoop handle was stored in direct contact with the ice in the ice machine bin.”
▪ At the coffee machine, the “steam wand used for milk was not washed, rinsed, and sanitized after more than four hours of use.”
▪ No paper towels were at the backroom area handwash sink.
