(New Castle, PA) A New Castle bakery was found to be out of compliance with regulations again after a recent follow-up health inspection. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture inspectors visited Bill’s Bake Shoppe on Liberty Street in New Castle on Friday for a follow-up inspection. A report states that inspectors located six violations that put the business out of compliance. Five of the violations included in the report are considered repeat issues, like the person in charge not demonstrating “adequate knowledge of food safety,” rodent feces throughout the facility, no sanitizer test strips or test kit, not using an approved detergent-sanitizer and dirty non-food contact surfaces. Inspectors gave Bill’s Bake Shoppe until March 20th to resolve all the most recent violations. The bakery will be inspected again within seven to ten days and its license will not be renewed until it’s deemed compliant again.
