CHICAGO (December 2,2008) ― A restaurant has been cited after city health inspectors found mouse droppings and spoiled meat in the Southwest Side establishment.
Health Department spokesman Tim Hadac said inspectors went to The Burrito Station at 2750 W. 111th St. on Tuesday and found about two pounds of cooked steak that had a foul odor and was being stored at unsafe temperatures.
The staff was instructed to discard the meat, which they did. A $500 citation was issued for the food stored at an unsafe temperature, Hadac said.
Mouse droppings were also found in an area were food was not being stored and a back door had a gap that could potentially allow access by vermin, which resulted in two citations carrying $250 fines each, Hadac said.
A uniformed Morgan Park District police officer claimed he picked up a food order at the restaurant about 12:15 p.m. Monday, police said. He went back to the police station and began to eat.
When he took a bite of a burrito, he tasted what seemed to be sewage in his food and spit it out, after which the health department was contacted, police said.
Hadac could not confirm the officer's account and had no information about reports of sewage in food, but said inspectors will return to the restaurant by Dec. 9 to follow up on the citations.
