Dairy Queen has repeat violations

Posted: October 16th, 2007 - 11:01am by Doug Powell

Healthinspections.com is reporting that a Dairy Queen in Daytona Beach was  fined $900 for repeated problems such as untrained employees handling food and foods held at dangerous temperatures.

Based on a review of thousands of health inspections in 12 cities, Dairy Queen has one of the worst records in the fast food industry, often with critical violations that have not been corrected since the last inspection.  The chain has one of the worst records in fast food for repeating the same health code violation time and again.

Employee hygiene is the number one problem at DQ – accounting for 22% of the chain's violations. Hygiene includes everything from workers not washing their hands to employees found eating and drinking in the kitchen.
Near Denver, for example, an inspector watched an employee "wipe nose, take money," and continue to prepare food without washing.

That is a big yuck!I remember returning burgers to Wendy's once a week because they were red, not pink, in the middle. I requested to speak to the manager and his response was, "Sorry, we have a new person on the grill." This was in the early 90's just after a big tainted meat scare.I stopped going to Wendy's after that. I guess I'll cross Blizzards off my list, too.Disclaimer: This is not a reflection of all Wendy's.

I have been ill for three days and the only thing I ate the day before was at dairy queen. I think it was their tarter sauce that was not refrigerated. I was so sick I had to call an ambulance.

My boyfriend and I had to go in th emergency room after eating some cheese burgers from DQ. I'm on my third day of recovering from food poison. My boyfriend does not have insurance at the time. But we were not going to let each other die for that fact. Therefore, we checked ourselves in the ER. Also we missed work for two days. Is there anything DQ can do for us?
