Sewage halted use of ‘all food processing' and ‘food equipment' at a Broward bakery
While a state inspector found few problems at a Lauderhill bakery on Tuesday, it took one major violation to stop work.
'All open food processing, food equipment and kitchen utensils' at D&R Best Bakery, 1442 N. State Rd. 7, got smacked with a Stop Use Order from Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services inspector Francis Odio.
In the bakery's backroom, Odio saw a sewage overflow or leak under the grease trap next to the three-compartment sink. That counted as sewage improperly disposed.
Reached by phone Wednesday morning, D&R's manager said the problem should be fixed later Wednesday or on Thursday.
Here are some other things Inspector Odio put in the report:
▪ In the food service area, there wasn't any not water at a handwash sink.

▪ There wasn't a splash guard between the handwash sink and the 'food displayed on the counter next to the coffee machine,' meaning the food could get hit with soap, water or dirt.
▪ Water leaked from the pipe under the sink.
▪ No mop sink, and D&R has 30 days to get one installed.
▪ 'A large container of cooking oil' sat on the floor next to the fryer. No container of oils or foods should be sitting directly on the floor.
