During an inspection, the Blue Parrot Bar and Grill lost points on its health inspection score after an inspector found food held at improper temperatures and gaskets in a walk-in cooler were found to be town and in need of replacing.

At Sun Up Cafe, lettuce had to be thrown out after an inspector found it was kept at a hazardous temperature in a prep cooler. Also, several food items, such as salmon, diced chicken, black beans and boiled eggs, were found without date markings and an employee was spotted working without a hair net — all of which helped drop its score to 95.

The lowest health score in Mooresville went to Davino’s Queens Pizza, where numerous infractions were spotted including an employee handling ready-to-eat tomatoes with their bare hands and soil residue and build-up was found on several kitchen items in need of a thorough cleaning.
