Freddy's Steakburger [file]

Five Maricopa food establishments received ticks from Pinal County Environmental Health Oct. 16-Nov. 15. Eleven others got clean reports.

At Dairy Queen, a hand-washing sink did not have water hot enough, and frozen raw hamburger was uncovered next to chicken patties, with fries/onion rings strewn about the freezer basket. Freddy’s had M&M candies spilled into moldy lemons, and staff was told to clean storage area to remove old droppings from a previous mouse problem. JB Farmer’s Convenience Store was nicked for having beef and chicken from an unapproved source. The New HQ had items in the cold prep table that were above the allowable temperature of 41 degrees. At Subway, one cold-holding unit was also above 41 degrees.
