A restaurant in Southwestern PA is “out of compliance” after repeat violations were found during a food safety inspection last week.
The Waffle House on Racetrack Road in Washington, PA was hit with four violations after an inspection by the PA Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Program.
The repeat violations include cigarette butts, paper and food found on the ground around the back door of the restaurant along with trash on the ground and around the trash bin.
Also, the back door in the washing area has a gap along the bottom that doesn’t prevent insects, rodents or other animals from entering the restaurant.
An inspection also says the person in charge at the time did not “have adequate knowledge of food safety in this food facility as evidence by the non-complaint inspection.”
The inspection says that the out of compliance status is due to the repeat violations.
A follow-up inspection is scheduled for 10 days from Friday.
The restaurant is allowed to continue to operate during this time.
