Inspecting the school’s food

We all know that students complain about their school’s cafeteria. But exactly how safe is the food being served there? Every year, Westchester County health inspectors visit local school cafeterias to grade them on everything from cleanliness to the temperatures of the refrigerators and freezers. My colleague, Ernie Garcia, has received inspection reports for three districts so far: New Rochelle, Yonkers and Pelham.
The most recent addition is New Rochelle, a district that had two “unacceptable” cafeteria ratings last year, one at William Ward Elementary School and the other at Jefferson Elementary School. New Rochelle officials said that they responded immediately after receiving the health department reports.

We’ve also produced an interactive database so you can read the information provided in the actual health inspection report. You can find that database at www.LoHud.com/data or by clicking here:
We will be adding districts as we obtain the reports. In general, how do you feel about your school’s cafeteria? What do your children say about it?
