Yankees furious with ESPN over report about contaminated food

Perhaps the next time you head to a Yankees game, you’ll bring your own food. ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” found that of the 43 concession outlets at Yankee Stadium, 34 of them were in some form of high-level violation.

Of the 16,000 reports taken from 111 different North American sports venues that ESPN examined, only five were found to have worse conditions than the ‘House that Jeter Built.’

Issues that were highlighted in the study include problems with food handling hygiene, soiled garments, contaminated or cross-contaminated food and improper discard.

Other findings detail the improper temperatures of hot food (below 140 degrees) — and perhaps most disgustingly — filth, insects and refuse located in the Legends Club during 2017.
