RE: BBC reveals hygiene breaches > RE: BBC reveals hygiene breaches
In reply to 4026 comments. You don't have to have complaits for the BBC to visit a simple EHO score of Zero is enough for them to choose you.(Next they will aim at 4/5 stars to prove the councils wrong so watch out. You will find some area managers have 20 Pubs + to visit over a huge area so visiting everyone every month and carrying out a full kitchen audit / business review would be impossable along with devisional meetings and getting time to see the family and have a life. Local councils only have to inspect once a year on some premises or longer depending upon results, If there was a genuine risk to health then it would have served notice on the premises. Im sure the big companies will be taking your advice on kitchen checking along with the advice supplied to them by companies like CMI & PSN who carry out quartley audits on all of the big companies food houses. |

The BBC targeted sites that had a Zero rated score by the EHO according to the scores on the doors website. For the BBC to send in undercover chefs that deliberatly drop items on the floor in a busy kitchen and film it and then the undercover reporter scoops coleslaw (not the kitchen staff) using a saucer is irrosponasble on the part of the programme makers. They send some one in to a busy pub to make a mess and film it then ask a stressed head chef what to do? A blatent set up to make good TV. Some kitchens have training issues granted but try to find a kitchen floor or a hob that is spotless on a busy weeknd with a 5k turnover on a Saturday. As we all know we do our best and use good kitchen practices to keep the customers safe. There is no excuse for some of the things shown like using the old wroten dish cloth and bad storage/prep practices. Times are hard for our trade at the moment and this will only make matters worse. Any big or small company could be caught out by this sort of programme as they will make something look wrong if there is nothing to film. |
