Grantstone Supermarket, 8 W. Grant Road
- History: The grocery store last failed an inspection in August 2015, but has had mostly “good” ratings since 2001.
- What the inspector saw: 10 critical violations in a May 25 inspection, many of which were in the meat department. There the inspector saw knives and other equipment encrusted with meat, dead crayfish on the floor, no hand-washing sink, and blood dripping from packages of meat. “Due to the filthy state of the meat department, it is clear that the operator lacks food safety knowledge,” the inspector wrote. The store was given a “probationary” rating.
- Follow-up: Passed June 6.
- Response: “That all was taken care of. Everything is OK,” manager Mary Bonillas said of the violations found in May. “The employees also know that they have to keep up.”
