Iowa food inspectors temporarily shut down three food trucks and found hot and cold food held at unsafe temperatures across Kinnick Stadium’s east concourse concession stands, according to the latest statewide inspection roundup. The findings come from inspections conducted between Aug. 10 and Oct. 1, 2026.
The roundup, published by KCRG on Oct. 9 and credited to Iowa Capital Dispatch, draws on reports filed by state inspectors with the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing and by county inspectors who work under contract with the state. The department withholds reports from public view for eight days after an inspection, so findings reach the public with a lag — sometimes well after the problem was fixed.
