‘Boba smoothie machine soiled with old food and debris’ and 33 other problems force closure of South Jordan restaurant

Food and debris left on the boba smoothie machine and raw chicken touching fresh cabbage in the cooler were among the reported citations forcing the closure of a fast-casual restaurant in South Jordan on Monday.

Riced, 11428 S. Parkway Plaza Drive, was closed by Salt Lake County Health Department for presenting “an imminent health hazard,” according to a notice posted on the department website.

In all, the restaurant, which uses the slogan “Fast Fresh Chinese,” had 34 health code violations — 18 of which were deemed critical to human health.

The restaurant will remain shuttered until the owner can fix the problems and health department inspectors determine it is safe for the public.
