Bruges Waffle Bus

Closed Aug. 18, reopened Aug. 21

Three violations forced health officials to close the Bruges Waffle Bus last weekend.

The hand sink in the bus was not operational, and an employee did not know how to use it, according to a health department report. An employee also did not wash hands between clean and dirty tasks, according to the report.

Officials conducted a follow-up inspection on Aug. 21 and reinstated the eatery’s permit, health department records show.

Chaia Cucina Catering

2163 S. Richards Street, South Salt Lake

Closed Aug. 23, not reopened as of Friday

Health officials closed Chaia Cucina Catering due to two violations.

The establishment did not have a food service permit from the Salt Lake County Health Department, according to a report. Various food items, including raw fish, were being stored in vacuum-sealed packaging at the facility, according to the report.

The health department does not have an approved plan for such packaging processes, and health officials left an order at the facility instructing them to discard the affected food immediately, according to the report.
