Are Cheshire School Cafeterias Clean?

Restaurants are routinely subjected to inspections from state and local health departments to ensure sanitary conditions, but what about the food school children are eating?

The New Haven Independent recently compiled data on school cafeterias statewide and posted the results on their site.

Cheshire's results can be found here.

The lowest scores came from the cafeteria in the private seminary run by the Legionaries of Christ on Oak Avenue. The Chesprocott Health District inspection showed that sinks were unclean and the presence of dead and live flies were noted.

Cheshire Academy was cited for minor concerns such as children being allowed to handle food. It was also noted that dirty containers were used to store clean utensils.

All of the town's public schools as well as St. Bridget School received a score of 96 or above out of a 100 point system. Cheshire High, Chapman, Highland, Doolittle and Norton schools all scored 100 in the past year.
