Michael Martin, a VCU ARAMARK manager, said, “I would characterize our relationship with the Health Department as outstanding.”
Martin has been with VCU for seven years and in those seven years, no VCU food locations have failed a state health inspection.
“When you look at those criticals, they’re not anything major they would shut you down for,” Martin said.
According to Martin, everything that can be corrected during the inspection without interrupting service is corrected.
In addition to state health inspections, VCU requires all 40 to 50 managers to be ServSafe certified, which is a food handling certification. VCU also works with a third-party inspector, EcoSure, to have inspections between state-mandated inspections.
