WASHINGTON – A recent inspection found more than a dozen health code violations at President Donald Trump's ritzy New Jersey golf club.
Raw meat was improperly refrigerated. Milk was spoiled. Handwashing areas were missing soap. And the person in charge failed to "demonstrate knowledge of food safety," according to an inspection report on May 6.
The inspector gave the club unusually low marks (32 out of 100) compared with other restaurants in the area that month, records show. The club earned a C rating and was ordered to fix all its health code violations and pay a reinspection fee, which is standard practice.
That reinspection, which was conducted on June 4, yielded far better results. Though there were still problems with some cleaning supplies, the inspector's second pass earned the club a B rating (86 out of 100).
Michael McCarty, the deputy director of health for Somerset County, where the club is located, said reinspections are common and usually occur within two to four weeks of an initial inspection.
