As a public service, the Mercury is publishing a weekly list of findings by the food service inspector at the Manhattan-Riley County Health Department. What follows is from the reports for the weeks ending January 17.
The findings should be seen as a snapshot of conditions existing at the exact time of inspection rather than as a reflection of the permanent conditions in an establishment. Two types of violations are reported here: Critical and non-critical violations. A critical violation is a key risk factor that poses the greatest potential for foodborne illness, according to the state.
Each critical violation is described in the report; non-critical violations are reported by number. All violations listed here were corrected on site at the time of the inspection unless it was noted that a follow-up inspection was required.

Email exchange: Web improvements?

Heather,

I think that KU and WSU have a Web friendly approach to the daily campus crime statistics. As it is – relying on an emailed Adobe acrobat file – I think K-State’ site could be a little “fresher” and reader friendly. Plus the other sites feature an archive capability, which I don’t believe I have seen at the KSU site. I’ve added the links to the WSU and KU daily crime statistics to my blog.

Best regards,

Tom Karst
