To assure that customers have a safe and enjoyable experience at our local restaurants, Orange County Health Inspectors conduct random inspections. The best score you can receive is a 100.
The Popeye’s on Link Ave. in Orange received an 86.
Inspectors saw a live mouse in the hot water closet and spider webs inside the drive thru area and in the back storage area.
Also none of the food handlers employed had taken and passed the food handler certification. The establishment was put on notice for an exterminator and given a date of Feb. 5 to have all handlers succesfully passing the course.
Popeye’s was also cited for their walk in cooler repairs, water heater that only reached 69 degrees when 85 is required. Employees must also wear hairnets if they’re wearing visors.
