6 Greene County kitchens fail inspections this week: Health department

Six restaurants inspected this week require a re-inspection, according to the Springfield-Greene County Health Department's food inspection reports , mainly due to problems with keeping food at safe temperatures. Don Pedro Grill, 1224 E. U.S. Highway 60 East in Republic; Wommack's Super Mercardo, 1130 N. Grant Ave. in Springfield; OXO Bar & Grill, 2550 S. Campbell Ave. in Springfield; Thailand Station, 1730 E. Republic Road in Springfield; and Ziggie's Cafe, 1772 S. Glenstone Ave. in Springfield, will all require a re-inspection. Across the five kitchens, coolers failed to keep potentially hazardous food, like salsa and bakery items, at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Food that is between 41 degrees and 135 degrees is in what the United States Department of Agriculture calls "the danger zone," meaning bacteria can grow quickly to levels that cause illness. The sixth establishment, Diamond Head Restaurant at 1225 E. Hines St. in Republic, requires a re-inspection because the dish machine was not maintaining a safe concentration of sanitizer, according to the Nov. 4 report. However, the restaurant also had issues with keeping sushi rice at a safe temperature after preparing it the night before and did not have documentation that salmon was free of parasites
