Chicken Blood Found After Health Department Complaint: Food Inspections
While a restaurant and grocery store both passed their Chicago Health Department inspections, another Lincoln Square business initially failed.
Restaurants can pass, pass with conditions or fail using a standardized procedure. Establishments that pass don't have any critical or serious vocations. Those that receive 'pass with conditions' had serious violations, but the violations were corrected during the inspection.
Failed establishments had serious violations that weren't correctable during the inspection. A fail rating does not mean the business's license is automatically suspended.
All inspections are done on a routine canvass, unless otherwise noted.

The outside garbage area wasn’t maintained with excessive debris and blood draining from the bottom area of the dumpster. The inspector issued a serious citation; all feathers and debris needs to be cleaned to prevent pest harborage.
More debris and chicken feathers were found on floors, coolers, storage shelves, cages and prep tables and sinks. Management needs to replace the tiles and clean the walls, along with fixing a leaky pipe.
