ESPN: 45% of Citi Field vendors cited for violations

ESPN did a big report about stadium food safety. The Mets actually fared comparatively well – and I bet if you investigated your local pizza joint or fast food place you would be stressed….here’s the part relative to the Mets:

Citi Field fared slightly better than the ballpark in the Bronx. Forty-five percent of vendors at the Mets‘ home park were cited with violations. Inspectors found 20 pounds of grilled chicken registered at 70 degrees in a refrigerator at the ballpark, which is about 30 degrees warmer than allowed, according to an excerpt of inspection reports.

The Yankees of course had to go and out-do the Mets.  Forty-eight percent of their vendors had violations according to the report.
