The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Food Safety and Laboratory Services conducted an expected follow-up retail food inspection on 7/27/2020. As a result of that inspection, and due to the severity of the specific violations Apple Castle was cited as being, “Out of Compliance” with Pennsylvania’s food safety regulations. During this inspection a total of 2 violations were found.

The inspector remarked in the report:

2nd follow up from 6-15-2020 and emergency response due to well water contaminated with ecoli and total coliform.

The inspector made the following comments in support of the violations found during the inspection:

• Found 20 dozen donuts made with contaminated well water in the donut case, all are adulterated, all were removed from the sell to the public and will be given to the owner’s pigs. Facility will use potable water when making donuts in the future for making donuts.
