Philadelphia health inspectors have found problemsafter visiting three food providers at University of Pennsylvania medical facilities, according to an article on the Philly.com website.
Though many violations were quickly fixed, in one instance an offense was serious enough for an inspector to ask an eatery to close.
Food services at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center were cited, as was the café at the university's dental school.
The dental school cafwe was cited for five food-borne-illness risk factors. Among the violations were a lack of towels at the hand-washing sink in the cooking area, no chemical sanitizer being used on equipment and utensils before use, and black residue and pink slime found in the shop's ice machine.
