The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Food Safety and Laboratory Services conducted an unannounced retail food inspection on 1/13/2021. As a result of that inspection, and due to the severity of the specific violations Burger King was cited as being, “Out of Compliance” with Pennsylvania’s food safety regulations. During this inspection a total of 3 violations were found.

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

• Flooring under fryers and in the walk-in cooler area of the food facility are extremely dirty, dusty, and in need of cleaning.
• CO2 tanks and corner of the kitchen area of the food facility are extremely dirty, dusty, and in need of cleaning.
• Interior of the frozen dessert machine, a food contact surface, was observed to have food residue and was not clean to sight and touch. Facility latest 2 (two) copies of frozen dessert test results show extremely high levels of coliforms and aerobic counts. Corrected by shutting down the machine until sanitizing and re-testing can occur.*
• Observed fryer, grill, and oven equipment, in kitchen area, with an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, debris, grease, on non-food contact surfaces.
