ATHENS, Tenn. – A cafeteria at an East Tennessee high school has failed a health inspection, with mold on parmesan cheese and turkey kept at an improper temperature among reported violations.
The Daily Post-Athenian in Athens reports that despite the McMinn County High School cafeteria’s failing score of 68, there have been no fewer students eating in the lunchroom.
The 68 score in the March 23 inspection is two points below passing.
McMinn County school nutrition supervisor Carol Young said all violations were quickly corrected, mostly while the inspectors were still present.
The violations included food spoilage and potentially hazardous foods not at proper temperature.
