Moldy ice cream freezers, expired meats, and even 'deceased pests'—recent restaurant inspections across Iowa uncovered some shocking food safety issues. From Council Bluffs to Cedar Rapids, inspectors found everything from raw chicken stored above salad bar ingredients to staff skipping handwashing and using phones while serving food. Some places even reopened after being told to close, without fixing the problems. While many violations are corrected on the spot, these reports are a wake-up call for anyone who eats out. Have you ever wondered what’s really happening behind the kitchen doors at your favorite spot? What standards do you expect from local restaurants? #Health #BodyHealth #IowaEats
