Complaint
My son is a student at D. M. Smith Middle School and reported to me that On 8/19/13, several of his peers were noted to be vomiting post consumption of lunch. He also stated that on 8/20/13 two students found bugs in their food. In the past, my son has reported to me that workers in the cafeteria often pick up and/or open boxes or they pick up things on the floor with their gloved hands and used those same gloved hands to serve food.
Investigation Start Date
InvestigationHistory
The complainant called and stated that her son had found bugs in his food along with two other students. The complainant also mentioned that the workers in the cafeteria opened boxes with gloves on and went to the serving line to serve food without changing them. I went to the facility and conducted a walk through of the cafeteria. There was one dead insect on the floor in the dry storage area. I requested a copy of the invoice from Tri-State Termite company. On 8/22/2013 an invoice was received from the Cleveland School District showing that Cypress Park/D.M Smith's cafeteria was last serviced on 08/02/2013. I also talked to manager Maxine Moore about the workers changes gloves when changing task and after engaging in other activities that contaminate the hands. A scheduled inspection is due for this facility on 08/23/2013. I talked to the principal of Cypress Park about the nature of the complaint also.She mentioned that no students had reported of being sick. The complainant was informed to call at anytime. The caller remained anonymous.
