CHICAGO: Quiznos sandwich shop shut by City Health Department, health violation unacceptable - (Chicago Department of Public Health)
March 13, 2008 – 8:29 pmA sandwich shop on the West Side was ordered closed today after Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) inspectors discovered a critical violation of the City Health Code.
Quiznos, 1809 N. Harlem, was shut down after CDPH inspectors found sewage backing up from two drains in the food preparation area.
CDPH was alerted to the situation by a motorist who called 311 last night to allege that Quiznos staff was disposing of the sewage by shoveling it out their back door and into an alley. No evidence of that activity was found by CDPH inspectors today.
