Consumer alert issued for Popeye’s in Wilkins Township
Citing multiple health code violations, the Allegheny County Health Department last week issued a consumer alert for the Popeye’s location in Wilkins Township.
According to the Feb. 10 report, the restaurant had an active roof leak above food storage and ware-washing areas, and a lack of proper sanitization of food contact surfaces. In the inspection report, the restaurant was also flagged for “low risk” violations including damaged ceiling tiles and a floor drain left uncovered that was emitting a “sewer-like odor.”
The Health Department will update its website when the alert is lifted.
