Savoy business gets red placard after 5th health department violation
SAVOY, Ill. (WCIA) — One Champaign County business received a red placard from the health department this week, causing the food service to close, and the health permit to be suspended.
On April 22, Old Orchard Lanes, located at 901 N. Dunlap in Savoy, received a red food inspection placard. The health inspector found two risk factor/intervention violations and one repeat risk factor/intervention violation.

For the fifth consecutive routine inspection, Old Orchard Lanes struggled to keep certain foods at cold enough temperatures. Inside the dressing cooler, the inspector found blue cheese dressing, thousand island dressing and a cup of thousand island dressing above the required 41°F. The person in charge said both dressings had been taken out of the walk-in cooler and added to the dressing cooler around three hours before the inspection. All other items inside the cooler were at or below 41°F.
The vanilla ice cream mix and the chocolate ice cream mix were also found above 41°F inside the ice cream mix holding wells. Both mixes were discarded.
Because this was the fifth time Old Orchard Lanes had cold holding violations, a red placard was posted. This is an 'R4' repeat violation, according to the health department. When an R4 repeat violation is observed, the health authority will pursue administrative and/ or judicial remedies against the food establishment and/or permit holder.
