Following an investigation by the health department due to “numerous” students being ill after eating there, a restaurant on a college campus in Pennsylvania was recently cited for multiple infractions.
The Allegheny County Health Department discovered food safety issues at the Stack’d Underground on the Carnegie Mellon University campus on Thursday, ranging from high- to low-risk involving food temperatures, dates on food, employee hygiene, cleaning, and sanitation, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and KDKA-TV.
According to the Trib, immediate rectification measures were implemented and verified during an inspection on Friday.
Located in Morewood Gardens, the largest residence hall on the CMU campus, the restaurant opened its doors in October.
Health officials were alerted when they discovered that all of the students who were complaining of illness had eaten at the restaurant, which is run by the Mero Restaurant Group of Pittsburgh.
The institution sent a statement to the Trib stating, “University Health Services acted quickly following numerous students reporting symptoms.”
According to the statement, “the vendor implemented immediate corrective actions and a re-inspection on Friday confirmed proper safety measures.” “We are assisting affected students in their recuperation.”
