Alarming news concerning food at Lincoln-Lancaster County Super Fair

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Health inspectors conducting food checks at the Lancaster County Super Fair this week found food being stored at unsafe temperatures and some unsanitary conditions.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department inspection inside the fair buildings found corn dogs that weren’t being kept hot enough and meats in malfunctioning coolers that weren’t cold enough.

Joyce Jensen says the food in question was immediately thrown out.

Other violations included flies in food preparation areas, unclean surfaces and inaccurate thermometers, improperly washed fruits and vegetables.

The fair ends this weekend. No food-related illnesses from the fair have been reported.
