The Davie County Enterprise Record, in cooperation with Davie Health & Human Services, is starting a new monthly list of local restaurant sanitation scores.
Each month, some details will be given on the lowest score. In October, it was “88” by El Campesino Grill on US 601 South in Mocksville.
Among the violations:
• chicken and fish left out to thaw;
• flies;
• out of date items;
• better and more frequent cleaning of bathrooms needed;
• ice machine needs better cleaning, food debris on lid and mold forming;
• dented cans;
• dishes in handwashing sink;
• baseboards falling off wall;
• no certified food protection manager on site;
• employee refused multiple times to put on single-use gloves while touching ready-to-eat foods.
These violations, and others, can be found by visiting the health and human services website. Go to “Public Health,” then “Environmental Health’” and look for “D.C. Food & Facilities Establishment Scores.”
At times, violations can be corrected during the inspection; and at other times, a repeat visit is warranted.
