You can bet that these organizations will be keeping an eye on their hired vendor companies from here on out.

We just need to make sure these vendors start providing the catered service for opposing teams.

Really If your gonna worry about some bottle in a stadium got a few fruit flys come on. Your neighborhood restaurant goes through the same. Look at your food, use sense of smell and anything weird return it.
Alot of these storys seem like they are part of the minority not Majority. Some is for structural issues, cleaning suppplies and not food borne. There will always be concerns as should be but this article and research seems bias.
WTF im always looking for a good lawsuit lmao. I'll never win one my mom let me eat worms im immune -
Come on Rex ryan hasnt got sick yet in our stadium. Cheap shot I know lol. -
Yet the Pat's stadium had 0 violations. Having been under the gun for 40 years in the food business I've seen it all. All the way from walking into a unit that had just recieved a D grade (shut down within 24 hours if all violations aren't corrected btw its grade before was an A) to walking into a unit that had a A+ grade that I wouldn't be caught dead in, it took firing about 10 people and 2 weeks of HARD work to get that unit back in line and an honest good grade. BTW the first unit with the truly bad grade (the Company had just fired its manager, who was seeing the HI, and was (it was thought) running a service using the waitresses.
So I would be very careful about these figures on their face value. Sun Life with its anonymous employee sounds like somebody just got fired and wanted payback.
The best and most pro run HI state I've dealt with is Tenn. Fair, upfront, strict but also willing to work with you. I have no idea about those in the North but I'll tell you this nobody gets a true 0 violations, unless of course the inspector is blind!!!anlgp, frozenfin and siciliansith like this. -
I worked so hard to transform a small pizza shop once and i got a written up for a employee putting a closed sealed container of raw meat above vegtables i was written up for possible contamination. Yes it shouldnt happen but we work with teenagers that always dont understand the ramifications. THE food is cooked. This table was not for raw food.
p.s raw meat cant be put above raw vegetables in any storage area because of drippage. and thae possiblillity it could be served raw. -

Its quite disturbing really. Im not sure what the laws are in the US, but at least up here (in Ontario anyways, not sure about the other provinces) any establishment, or even hot dog vendor on the street corners are subject to inspection randomly by the health board yearly. They are graded, and if things aren't up to par they shut them down. Also after the inspection you are forced to hang a sign in your window that shows the grade you received on your most recent inspection. If I had to guess, that's probably why most of the venues in Ontario, are relatively violation free on that report.

This is unblievable.....all the stadiums in Fla are the worst except for one ? Something fishy here.

IMHO, having been in the food service business also, nothing. A good score means that when the inspectors were there, things were ok. A bad score means they hit when we were really busy and things and people got sloppy. I was never around any kitchen that was real bad, as in mold buildups, raw food misplaced or really serious health violations, but I've had kids make mistakes that they didn't always do, not wash their hands before starting or whatever....just simple mistakes where kids forgot what they were supposed to be doing because they were being high school and college kids and not food professionals...is it right ?? Absolutely not.
Oh, and I thought I bring up that my training came in the South Florida school system years ago... It's a constant battle to keep your kitchen in order and there is turnover to deal with (even in the higher end places) and training and re-training. There are violations in EVERY kitchen/restaurant/food service place every day...some get caught more than others...why is it that you don't see too many salad bars, food bars and all you can eat places as much as in the past ??gafinfan likes this. -

The inspectors run the gament of types from the truely professional to the guy marking time with ex military/ex government doubledippers included.
If you thought you got sick all you had to do was report it. They are supposed to respond within 24 hours and if you leave a number the good ones will in fact call you back. -
I never eat in stadiums or museums or anything. I just slide a power bar in my pocket, since your only in the stadium for around 3 hours, you eat before and after and your good. Plus everything is overpriced in stadiums.

Regarless, now Ill just make sure to eat a bit extra during the tailgates lol
