Due to concerns from an anonymous Alief community member and parent, physical education coach Mary Bailey has closed the healthy snack bar until further notice.
According to the member, the “fresh smoothies are made by employees who were just minutes before just working out and are handling fresh fruits with no protective gear…sweat dripping off them…” (read more of the letter above)
Therefore, to assuage the concerns, Bailey is currently re-filing the paperwork to ensure that the food meets the nutritional and health standards. If the USDA suspects a contamination of the food, they can close not only the bar, but also the school.
For more information, see Bailey or pick up a December issue of the Kerronicle.
