An investigation has uncovered critical food violations in Chicago hospitals and a bureaucratic problem that left some hospital kitchens with no oversight for years, according to an article on the CBS Chicago website.
The city thought the state government was inspecting the kitchens, while the state thought the city was conducting the inspections.
At Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the patient-only kitchen hasn’t been inspected since 2013, and at Rush Medical Center, the patient kitchen was last checked in 2012 by a not-for-profit accrediting agency. Both hospitals refused to release the results of those inspections.
After inquiries, the Illinois Department of Public Health instructed local health officials to inspect both public and patient kitchens from now on.
