The CDPH saw the video and instantly carried out a surprise inspection, afterward hanging a “License Suspended” sign in the window of the Subway restaurant franchise. The employee seen on the footage has reportedly been fired.
According to CBS 2, citing local authorities, this venue has displayed a number of issues over the years, in particular, failing back-to-back inspections in 2017.
Some of the citations also included food storage not meeting the proper temperature requirements and a worker seen washing their hands without soap.
