Burger King at Trailwinds Village cited for violations by health inspector

The Burger King restaurant at Trailwinds Village has been cited for violations by a health inspector.

The fast-foot restaurant on County Road 466A in Wildwood was visited Sept. 16 by a health inspector who discovered two high-priority violations:

• Raw eggs were being stored over orange juice in a walk-in cooler.

• A spray bottle of degreaser was found on a counter with sliced tomatoes and an egg cooker. 

There were also two intermediate violations:

• Manager in charge lacked proof of food manager certification.

• No paper towels or mechanical hand-drying device were provided at a handwash sink.
