Health department cites 2 Springfield restaurants for improper thawing
Springfield-Greene County Health Department restaurant inspectors cited two Springfield restaurants for thawing food improperly this week, according to reports. Both Karai, 640 W. Republic Road, and Taqueria Cachanilla, 1938 S. Glenstone Ave., were found with items either thawing at unsafe temperatures or in the wrong spot. During its Aug. 4 inspection, inspectors found sushi tuna and soft-shelled crab thawing at room temperature at Karai, and the soft-shelled crab was thawing in a hand sink. The non-priority violations were corrected, according to the report. Inspectors found fish thawing at in a room temperature container at Taqueria Cachanilla, according to the July 30 report. Parts of the fish were measuring at 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and the non-priority violation was corrected by discarding portions of the fish that were above 41 degrees. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service , perishable food should not be thawed at room temperature or in hot water, and must not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours, as bacteria present prior to freezing can begin to multiply once food becomes warmer than 40 degrees.

Health department cites 2 Springfield kitchens for out-of-date food
This week, Springfield-Greene County Health Department inspectors found two kitchens storing food past its use-by date, according to reports. Both King's Asian Chef, 1336 N. Glenstone Ave., and The Kennedy, 416 S. South Ave., were cited for having food past the seven-day discard date, according to July 20 and July 22 reports, respectively. King's Asian Chef had cooked noodles and beef in the walk-in cooler, the July 20 report said, and the violation was corrected by discarding the items. The Kennedy had sliced tomatoes (discard date July 22), pesto (discard date July 15 and 18) and Bolognese sauce (discard date July 17), the July 22 report said, all of which were voluntarily discarded. According to the Missouri Food Code, ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food may be stored for up to seven days if it's stored at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Issues found during inspections fall into either priority or non-priority violations. Priority violations impact the safety of the food, such as cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat food, improper food temperature and poor personal hygiene and employee health. Multiple priority violations can lead to an establishment being shut down. Non-priority violations alone do not directly affect food safety, such as dirty
