As long as the Meat temps out at 155f or above when served it should be fine. That IRCC is the standard for holding food. Probably the Insurance for the whole chain is increased due to the method they use, right or wrong, so corporate is going to change it to keep costs down not for food safety concerns. That said, E Coli is often deadly to the very young, elderly or immune-deficient. If the local inspector has cleared the equipment it is fine. Those guys are sticklers.
I have been involved in a chain restaurant compromising quality and methods to decrease liability. Bad idea.

Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."

They DO NOT mix cooked and uncooked meat, the device has both in it, but they are NOT mixed. Also, the cooker is hot enough to kill all bacteria.
The owners issue is the inspector came in and saw something HE did not like and issued a citation while ignoring FACTS about the cooker and its uses. The ONE inspector has made an issue out of something that has served thousands of peope without incident. The ONE inspector decided this based on his view and lack of knowledge.

I agree, but I also have to ask: if it's unsafe and risking the public's health, why has this issue been going on for over two years?
Taylor's was cited for this in December 2007. If it was really dangerous, the inspector would have made them change it immediately, or close the store until it was. It must not be that big of a deal...

Does Taylor's also run the one in Tama or wherever (near the 4 way stop)? It seems to be better than the others as well.

Re: Marshalltown Maid-Rite Owner Protests State Ruling
I can see both sides. You have to have some rules in place to protect people from blatant health concerns -- like Chinese restaurants leaving uncooked chicken out at room temp for days at a time.
On the flip side, you COULD drown in a bowl of soup but I don't see them requiring lifeguards at restaurants.
Seems like the owner is making a big deal out of nothing in this case though. Spend $50 on a warmer and get it over with.

Re: Marshalltown Maid-Rite Owner Protests State Ruling
Grew up in M'town, but don't get back as often as I would like. I heard an awful rumor about Taylor's the other day and would like some clarification.
Do they have ketchup available at Taylor's?

If I remember correctly the CEO was trying to strong-arm these restaurants a few years ago as well. I'm never eating at one of the corporate Maid Rites again. If I recall correctly, the maidrite CEO was and may still be trying to strongarm all stores into buying the cooked meat from Maidrite and then nuking. That was his ploy a few yrs ago.
I had one up in Spirit Lake location one night....you know how a bun gets tough when you overnuke it? That's their answer to locally cooked food not bought from them.

isn't it common sense food safety that you shouldn't do that? Oh you know, that nasty government is telling us we have to do it. So the hell with them. Who cares if it really is better or safer, I'm a rebel damnit. If nothing else, the guy is a moron because he's leaving himself up for endless law suits if anyone even gets the slightest stomach ache at his shop. I agree, don't follow everything the government tells you, but this one is a no brainer. They really are looking out for the health of people here. Don't believe it, go ask Jack in the Box how undercooked meat got them in the news.
