FOOD SAFETY AT AMERICA'S FAST FOOD CHAINS - ARBY'S
RATES WORST
May 14, 2008 - America's big names in fast food have big problems with food safety. A review
of nearly 7,000 health inspection reports revealed thousands of violations and plenty of horror
stories.
-Burger King, Houston: An inspector found an employee's half eaten sandwich in a warmer,
sitting on top of grilled chicken patties that would be served to customers.
-Taco Bell, Phoenix: Employee licks finger, then continues to prepare taco, handling food
without washing.
-McDonalds, Phoenix: A customer complains that her child found two roaches in her
pancakes. Inspectors visited the restaurant and found enough roaches to "support the
allegations," and threatened legal action because of repeat violations.
When you step into a fast food restaurant – whether it's McDonalds or Wendy's, KFC or Sonic
– inspection reports indicate that you're likely to be eating in a place that has a history of
repeating serious health code violations.
Healthinspections.com analyzed two years worth of health inspection reports for the top 10
fast food chains in 12 cities at the request of Dateline NBC.
Among the findings:
Arby's: The worst over all record. Inspectors were likely to find two or more violations
uncorrected from previous inspections when they visited an Arby's.
Arby's had the worst record for serving foods at dangerous temperatures with a fourth of its
stores cited for repeat temperature violations.
Arby's also has a problem with dirty or unsanitized slicers which have been indentified as the
cause of making customers sick
