A suspected case of food poisoning and a complaint has led to an inspection at Orange on Roscoe in Roscoe Village in Chicago Illinois. The Chicago Department of Public Health’s Food Protection Program has details about the inspection report at the restaurant. There is no word on what pathogen may have caused the alleged food poisoning.
The inspection date is 1/0/13, with Risk 1 (High). Under Chicago’s system, restaurants are graded using a standardized procedure. They can pass, pass with conditions, or fail. Orange on Roscoe passed the inspection with no critical or serious violations.
During the inspection, the inspector found an ice machine that needed to be sanitized. He also found walls behind the storage shelves that needed cleaning. Splash guards needed to be installed between the exposed hand sink and prep cooler in the kitchen and between the three-compartment sink and drain board and hand sink, and everything that was stored on the floor must be elevated to at least six inches to prevent pest problems. In addition, restroom vents were dusty, and vents above the mop sink and drain board of the dish machine were rusted.
The inspector notes that food and non-contact food surfaces were clean and free of abrasive detergents, floors were constructed per code, cleaned, and in good repair. He also notes that walls, ceilings, and attached equipment was constructed per code and in good repair.
