Chain establishment cleared after sprinkler activation

Violations and comments on food-safety inspections conducted last week by the Delaware County Health Department of establishments with liquor licenses, which contained one of two with violations:

Brewer’s Outlet, 535 Church Lane, Yeadon:

• Comment: Inspector came on site for the completion of Food Facility application only.

PJ Whelihan’s Pub, 4803 West Chester Pike, Newtown Square:

• Food stored at the cold hold unit under activated sprinkler is contaminated.

• Comment: Re-opening inspection prompted by overhead sprinkler activation by fryers. Establishment cleaned and sanitized all preparation units in effected area, discarded all potentially contaminated foods. DCHD has granted the establishment to continue operations.

A la carte

Most of the violations are handled on the spot — usually by moving or discarding any food in question and cleaning what was found to be dirty — and a few require follow-up visits.

Delaware County presents the inspections with no further comment than above.

The Daily Times makes minimal corrections to spelling, capitalization and punctuation from the reports. There are many more inspections performed by the county other than those listed above.

Tinicum Township reports through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture website. There were no inspections listed.

Tinicum is the only one of the seven Delaware County townships that don’t rely on the county health department for inspections that reports through the state.

Governmental entities are not obligated to report the results of food-safety inspections to the public.
