DQ dinged for ongoing issues during food inspection

Though only eight eateries in Maricopa were inspected between May 16 and June 15, two were inspected twice in that period. Only one restaurant did not receive an excellent rating.

At Dairy Queen/Shell, the inspector listed ongoing problems. One was a prep table that was not cold-holding food at 41 degrees or cooler as required. The other was holes in a wall next to the ice machine and gaps at the back door, which had been written up in February. The business was also ticked for not having a food thermometer in the prep table.
