Bad Reviews, Bad Restaurant Practices
Advanced Bio Treatment offers sanitation services related to passing restaurant health inspections. A restaurant chain owner waited until it was too late when we first received a phone call from the Health Department, after a string of grisly discoveries in one of the restaurant locations.
It was late in July when we received the call asking about the removal of contaminated raw meat. There had been several reviews posted blasting the restaurant for gusts of foul smelling odor from the rear of the building . It wasn’t until those reviews were paired with a phone call from an employee at the location that the health department made another visit.
One review read:
Dropped in from out of town for a quick bite. Should have read the reviews first. Food was sketchy at best. Worst though, I almost lost my lunch due to the smell in the parking lot. Something’s gotta be dead around back of that place.
Hazardous Waste Disposal Services
An employee had discovered packages of putrid meat in pile of crates against the back of the building after all the other employees began refusing to take garbage to the dumpster due to the unbearable stench. After attempting to reach the owner over the course of several days, the employee reported the problem to the authorities. This discovery only led to a series of unsettling problems within the restaurant.
There were at least a dozen slabs of expired and apparently forgotten, meat decaying behind a shelving unit in the walk-in cooler which had a temperature of 49 degrees which is well above the safety range for storing raw meats. It was evident that there had been great irregularity in the temperature due to the discovery of standing water and an infestation of dead insects behind where the meat had been stored. Some insects are drawn to the scent of decaying flesh, and in this circumstance they had found it and were able to survive long enough to lay their eggs which had already developed into larvae, or maggots, before the cooler was repaired and the temperature dropped too low to sustain them. Even though the insects were no longer living, the threat they posed remained very real since they can carry a variety of bacteria and disease along with them wherever they end up. Not only is simply the sight of insects in or near food unappetizing, but it’s also often a sign of more serious problems, especially within the walls of a restaurant. Dangerous temperature fluctuations in cooling or freezing units, infestations, and poor sanitation processes are all likely culprits; all three of which were the case at this restaurant.
24/7 Hazardous Waste Decontamination
Advanced Bio Treatment successfully removed all of the contaminated waste and conducted an emergency hazardous waste decontamination. However, the owner had allowed these problems to fester too long to recoup his business or his reputation and was forced to close all three of his restaurants. At Advanced Bio Treatment, we are very often able to assist business owners in maintaining the integrity of their goods and services. Let Advanced Bio Treatment handle your needs professionally and respectfully. We understand, through extensive training and experience, how to help you keep your business clean and contaminant-free.
