The Danish Food Administration has launched an inspection at a McDonald's restaurant in Kastrup, near the airport, following customer complaints about hygiene last month.
The inspection report stated that the wheels under the furniture appeared dirty and greasy with yellow and white paint, and the walls and electrical equipment behind and between the fixtures appeared dirty and greasy with yellow paint.
The inspection visit took place on the sixth of last month and lasted only 45 minutes, during which the Danish Food Administration was able to find a series of examples of inadequate cleaning. The floors between the furniture in the storeroom appeared dirty with black paint between the edges of the shelves in the storeroom, and they also appeared “dirty with old food residues,” as stated in the inspection report. In addition, the inspection report stated that the mesh in the refrigerator appeared dirty with layers of dust, and the shelves in the cooler box were dirty with black/grey spots of mold-like growth.
As a result of inadequate cleaning, the McDonald's restaurant in Kastrup received a poor hygiene rating and a fine of 15,000 kroner.
The Danish Food Administration stated in its inspection report that it had photographically documented the “filthy conditions”.
This is not the first time that McDonald's owner Lars-Beck Dennysen, who owns 10 McDonald's branches in the Copenhagen metropolitan area, has faced cleaning problems. The same branch received a disciplinary warning on November 5 of last year for inadequate cleaning, which led to two follow-up inspections for a fee.
