Similarly, the market supervision department in Taizhou inspected 10 McDonald's, checked the cleaning and disinfection record Ledger, each store did regular disinfection work, and inspected 22 KFC, there were 31 other catering units including ice cream, and no exposure problems were found. The staff of the food and beverage department of the Shaoxing Municipal market supervision bureau said that the ice cream machines used in the eight McDonald's stores in Shaoxing were generally in good condition, and the on-site inspection did not find any mold problems in the stored cream tanks. However, during the inspection process, it was found that the batch number of raw materials for making ice cream in a McDonald's store did not match its purchase bill, and the health certificate of employees in a dessert station was not on the wall.
