Health inspectors found critical health code violations at the concessions of both Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field. Inspectors found that meats were kept at the wrong temperature and that employees were handling food and money at the same time.

The Tribune writes that at Wrigley one employee was “handling money and put her fingers inside the cup that was given to customer filled with drink.” And at U.S. Cellular, food vendors were storing hot dogs, cheese and sandwiches at the wrong temperatures.

Concessions managers threw out hundreds of pounds of food, and inspectors ordered institutional changes across the board.
