Officials also reported that the rear door was open and food, including salmon, eggs and sauce, was held at unacceptable temperatures.
Swift action was taken, according to Yu Bai, the truck’s ServSafe certification holder.
“We fired the food truck manager and we will fix everything,” Bai, who also assumed the truck manager role, said in an email.
