School cafeterias get an F

High school cafeterias aren't the only student-serving eateries in London to rack up food safety violations in the area health unit's latest inspections.
Health inspectors recorded 26 critical violations during recent inspections of 22 restaurants and cafeterias at Fanshawe College and the University of Western Ontario, according to the M.L.H.U.
Though each of the 26 infractions, gone unchecked, could have led to food poisoning, the eateries were found mostly in compliance with the health unit's 45-item food-safety checklist and can operate.
