School cafeterias not meeting inspection laws

Roaches, rodents and too-warm tunafish have all been found in area school cafeterias in the past year, and many schools have failed to meet a federal law requiring the local health department to inspect cafeterias twice a year.

At Forestville, Md.’s Suitland High School, a 2007 complaint to the health department charged that there were mice and roaches infesting the cafeteria. There had only been one inspection recorded with the health department in the previous two years.
