At a Popeye’s restaurant at 1100 Airport Freeway in Bedford, the inspector noted that all of the employees working were new and no one had been trained in food safety. Employees were not correctly reheating food, tracking how long cooked chicken was on the line, or tracking dates on slaws and mashed potatoes in the walk-in cooler, the report says. The restaurant scored 18 demerits.
