The Self-Professed “Bad Boy For Life”...Needs To Clean Up His Act.

Sean John Combs, aka...Diddy (other nicknames include Puff Daddy, P. Diddy and Puffy), owns a restaurant in Atlanta called Justin’s. On March 17, 2009, Justin's failed a health inspection receiving a “U” for unsatisfactory. The report stated that chicken, pork and shellfish were at unsafe temperatures. Plus, there was mold in the ice machine and fruit flies in the restaurant. 

So many would ask, "whats the big deal about fruit flies"? 

Well, here is a FYI about fruit flies.

Fruit flies lay their eggs near the surface of fermenting foods or other moist, organic materials. Upon emerging, the tiny larvae continue to feed near the surface of the fermenting mass. This surface-feeding characteristic of the larvae is significant in that damaged or over-ripened portions of fruits and vegetables can be cut away without having to discard the remainder for fear of retaining any developing larvae. The reproductive potential of fruit flies is enormous; given the opportunity, they will lay about 500 eggs.

Fruit flies are especially attracted to ripened fruits and vegetables in the kitchen. But they also will breed in drains, garbage disposals, empty bottles and cans, trash containers, mops and cleaning rags. All that is needed for development is a moist film of fermenting material. Infestations can originate from over-ripened fruits or vegetables that were previously infested and brought into the home. The adults can also fly in from outside through inadequately screened windows and doors.

Fruit flies have the potential to contaminate food with bacteria and other disease-producing organisms.
