SALEM -- A West State Street restaurant has had its food service license suspended.
According to a press release, the Salem City Health District suspended the license of Sunny's Chinese Restaurant following "a standard food safety inspection" on Monday. During that inspection "the establishment was found to have critical food safety violations, including improper food temperatures and preparation practices" prompting Environmental Health Director Charles Weatherly to issue an immediate suspension.
The suspension will "remain in effect until the identified violations have been corrected" and the restaurant demonstrates that it is operating in "compliance with applicable food safety requirements." The release states that the health department is continuing to monitor the situation and work with the restaurant "throughout the compliance process."
"The Salem City Health District takes its responsibility to protect the health and safety of the community seriously. Routine food safety inspections are an essential part of ensuring that food service establishments are following proper food handling, storage, and preparation practices," the release states.
