Many Violations Found In Clewiston And LaBelle Restaurant Kitchens
LABELLE, FL. -- In a survey of 28 LaBelle and Clewiston restaurants, only one was found with no food safety violations after the most recent inspections by the Florida Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Wendy's in LaBelle came out with flying colors with a perfect food safety inspection (Wendy's in Clewiston had 10 violations), while all other LaBelle eateries were found with one or more "critical" food safety violations.
In our last full survey in April, 2010 Taco Bell/KFC was the only eatery with a perfect inspection record. This year 1 critical violation was found by inspectors there.
Last year, seven restaurants were found with no required state certified food managers on staff: Jones EZ Foods, Burger King, Beef O Brady's, Palateria Los Mayos, Popeye's, Hungry Howie's, and Olivia's. This year all restaurants inspected had properly certified managers. (Olivia's went out of business and the Port LaBelle Inn has started it's own restaurant but has no inspection yet

Last year two restaurants were given full inspections as the result of consumer complaints, Jones EZ Food and Log Cabin BBQ. This year only Fortune Cookie had a "full complaint" and is subject to it's eighth follow up inspection after two recurring violations were found. The Fortune Cookie, for many years, has had the worst food safety history in Hendry county of all restaurants surveyed.
This year McDonald's in Clewiston had the worst inspection record with 15 violations, 11 being "critical."
Last year, Don's Restaurant had a food safety inspector note: "Observed presence of insects, rodents, or other pests on tables close to front door." This year the pest problem had been solved, but they still had seven violations compared to four last year.
