Springfield grocery store cited for selling food past sell-by date
Springfield-Greene County Health Department restaurant inspectors found out-of-date food at a Springfield supermarket's deli and salad bar this week, according to this week's inspection reports . Price Cutter No. 35, 1260 E. St. Louis St., had multiple out-of-date items stocked in its coolers, according to the Aug. 12 report: Several packages of pre-sliced ham and turkey with sell-by dates of Aug. 11; packages of hot wings with an Aug. 5 sell-by date and packages of hot boneless wings with an Aug. 10 sell-by date. The priority violation was resolved by discarding the out-of-date items. 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 floors, sticky tabletops or outside trash cans not being covered.
