A manager at La Feria’s Church’s Chicken said it was unacceptable behavior on the part of his cook that led to high demerits on a health inspection report.
The restaurant on 716 North Main Street scored 22 demerits.
The list of violations on the inspection included off-temperature corn and gravy, hot foods not properly covered, a cross-contamination concern with raw chicken in the wrong place and dirty equipment.
The Food Patrol questioned management as to whether any measures were taken to improve health safety.
Rick Rivera said the cook in question has been retrained and received disciplinary action.
He wants the public to know the restaurant is clean and safe.
