"Tough to swallow: School cafeteria inspections lax; Globe review of local districts finds federal standards often are not met
At an elementary school in Billerica, the sewage smell was so strong it forced a nauseated health inspector to leave after 15 minutes. During a five-week period in Framingham, 17 mice were caught in an elementary school's kitchen storage area. And in a Foxborough middle school, a complaint of hair in the food prompted an inquiry by a local health inspector.
School cafeteria inspections in communities throughout Greater Boston last year found problems ranging from expired milk and rotting meat to disposable utensils and a meat slicer stored in employee bathrooms.
But, in many ways, that was the good news.
Those cafeterias were inspected, their problems identified for correction. Cafeterias in 7 percent of private and public elementary and secondary schools across Massachusetts were never inspected at all in the 2007-2008 school year, according to state records. And 38 percent were inspected just once, though federal law requires two health inspections annually.
The Massachusetts data gathered from school districts tell only part of the story. A closer look at more than 1,000 schools in 157 communities in Greater Boston reveals a slipshod system of local enforcement with virtually no state or federal oversight. Faulty record-keeping is a widespread problem.
But they are up your butt, excuse me.
Some communities keep inspection records, others don't. Some officials make inspection results available to the public, as required by law, while others make it difficult or impossible to learn whether inspections were carried out. Federal and state agencies, meanwhile, do nothing to enforce laws mandating regular inspections.
"Parents should be alarmed," said Colman Herman of Dorchester, a food safety advocate. "They expect their kids to be kept out of harm's way, and we have boards of health not doing their job."
In PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!!!

They MORE WORRIED about HOW MUCH YOU EAT not the QUALITY, 'eh?
In Massachusetts, school cafeteria inspections fall under the jurisdiction of local boards of health, typically small groups that are either elected or appointed, depending on the community. There are no minimum education or experience requirements to be a health inspector; candidates need only pass a state-approved performance test and a written exam, which can be taken online through the Food and Drug Administration. The state also sets no minimum qualifications for directors of local boards of health.
"The guy who inspects your car has more training" than some health inspectors, said Michael Moore, food safety coordinator at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
The systemic shortcomings in cafeteria inspections come as a recent wave of health scares, from salmonella-contaminated peanut butter to E. coli-tainted spinach, has revealed serious gaps in the nation's food safety system. Children are especially susceptible to food-borne illness, and in cafeterias or any other food-serving establishment, the primary line of defense is health inspections....
I don't eat out anymore anyway. Can't afford it, don't want to pay the extra taxes, and now I don't trust what is going on behind that door.
You better go get a bucket before you read this next part, readers.
In August, Lynn health inspector Frank McNulty was called to Lynn English High School to investigate a foul odor. When he opened the cafeteria freezer, a puff of steam reeking of rotting meat gushed out. "I nearly passed out," McNulty said. "I've never dealt with something like that before."
The freezer had shut down, but the condenser was still operating, drawing in hot summer air and cooking hundreds of pounds of meat for weeks.
Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! And I'm supposed to go have lunch now?!!
McNulty and food service employees called dozens of cleaning services, but none would take the job. Finally, he contacted a company that cleans up crime scenes. "They must do dead bodies," he said, "so I figured they'd do this."
Steak's on!!!
Actually, I know where you could unload the stuff:
"Desperate Russians turn to spoiled food; Market for cheap, expired goods seeing resurgence" by Megan K. Stack, Los Angeles Times | May 31, 2009
I think I would RATHER STARVE!! I, I, I....
MOSCOW - The cheeses are spotted with mold. The sausages are ominously gray. Slime is beginning to overtake the chicken.
But the stooped and slow clientele who crowd this pungent stretch of market stalls in the southern fringes of the Russian capital don't seem bothered. Retirees mass and push before spreads of lukewarm yogurt and moldering fish. Business has never been better, the manager says.
That's usually when it takes a ride into the woods around here, folks.
I'm not a big fan of gut pain or food-poisoning.
Theoretically, selling expired foodstuffs is a crime punishable by fine. But the climbing prices, falling salaries, and withering demand of Russia's economy appear to be driving a surge in the sale of past-their-prime goods.
Trafficking in spoiled food, a familiar racket during the collapse of the Soviet Union, is making a comeback in both markets and wholesale Internet shopping. A semi-underground enterprise, it is difficult to trace. But consumer groups, shoppers, and anecdotal evidence all indicate its ascendance.
Isn't that how Louis the XVI got into trouble?
"If you lower the price to pennies, people will buy it even at the risk of being poisoned," says Irina Vinogradova, director of the Russian Institute of Consumer Evaluation. "This crisis has led some people into a situation where they have absolutely no money to survive on."
Like many of the shoppers here, Galina Abrosimova, 82 and a retired construction engineer, had been buying spoiled food even before the crisis hit. Supermarkets are an impossible dream for many retirees. They spend their days shuffling from one corner of Moscow to the next, hunting bargains. Most Russians still haven't been forced to buy spoiled food....
Then one wonders why this is even in my enemy-creating, agenda-pushing jewspaper!
WTF when WE GOT AMERICANS STARVING while the WEALTHY LIVE IT UP!
"Every table was set with a single fresh rose (from the rose gardens outside, I was told) and a full complement of three forks, two knives, and two spoons in silver plate..... The buffet tables could have graced a high-end ocean liner. I watched a gentleman in colorful African garb pile his plate with slices of roast sirloin and potatoes mashed with feta cheese. A post-retirement-age couple from the East Side scarfed up most of the egg rolls, though more came out quickly....
I made for the roast leg of lamb with rosemary sauce after I filled my salad plate with chilled asparagus and slices of a duck and pork terrine.... fresh tomato soup and bowls of pasta primavera.... The dessert buffet table practically groaned under a spread of apple and pumpkin pies, cheesecakes, tarts, half a dozen cheeses, sliced fruits, bowls of berries, and, off to one side, three urns of ice cream"

Oh, back to the hack job on the Russians:
In the middle of the market, a group of men clusters around a metal table, swapping newspaper sections, and running eyes over their domain. They wear suits or leather; they look tough and wary, as if they were sent over from a "Sopranos" casting call. When they notice a foreign reporter wandering from stand to stand, they send over a pair of security guards to hover along.
