The Worst Food Safety Inspection in the History of Phoenix

If you’re thinking about ordering Chinese food this Christmas holiday, you definitely want to avoid New China Gate, a south Scottsdale Chinese restaurant that racked up the worst food safety inspection of the year.

In fact, New China Gate takes the title for worst inspection visit not only for 2009, but going all the way back to the start of government record keeping on the subject!

On September 30, 2009, the folks at this south Scottsdale Chinese restaurant managed to rack up a record twenty one (21) health code violations violations. That’s more violations in one day than many restaurants get in a decade!!

According to the health inspectors, “Ready to eat potentially hazardous foods are not correctly date marked.. Egg rolls, fried shrimp & chicken holding in walk in cooler & make table were prepared 3 days prior & were not date marked. these foods were properly dated at the time of inspection.”

Egg rolls anyone?
