Phoenix-Area Restaurant Found Serving Month-Old Food During Re-Inspection

In a perfect world, a business would improve upon its faults. It would receive feedback and make the necessary adjustments to ensure not only a quality product but also a quality experience for guests. Unfortunately, that does not always happen, as is the case with one Phoenix area restaurant. Following an inferior health inspection, the majority of restaurants do perform better during scheduled re-inspections. The eateries know what needs to be corrected and they know when the repeat visit will occur. Even if everything isn’t addressed, most do see improvements during subsequent inspections. The restaurant in question, however, made zero improvements, and as such has become a repeat offender of several critical food safety standards.

On September 12, OG’Z The Original Empanada Shop was visited for its routine inspection. At this time, the restaurant, located at 21824 South Ellsworth Road in Queen Creek was cited for nine violations, seven of which were Priority Violations. A Priority Violation is one that directly contributes to the increased risk of foodborne illness or injury.
