(Compiled by this website) Mesa Public School cafeteria employees were once again trained on the correct storage of food, after an incident at Adams Elementary School last Tuesday in which spoiled sandwiches and carrots were distributed. It's unknown if the Adams Elementary School cafeteria staff will face disciplinary action. After returning from the arts last Tuesday, students at Adams Elementary School were given free hot meals after spoiled food was asked to be thrown away. A Mesa spokesperson said this was a very serious incident. There is nothing wrong with the freezers used to store food. The spoiled food is caused by manual errors. Parents and teachers said the sandwich was hard and turned green. The food was distributed to students in three classes. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the student was told to throw away the sandwich and carrots. When they return to school, they can still eat in the school cafeteria. Mesa has 82 schools, serving 45,000 lunches and 10,000 a la carte meals every day, consuming a total of US$2.8 million a year. Adams Elementary School is the only school where this has happened recently.

In public schools, except for students who receive federal free lunch, students pay $1.85 per day for meals. The school district has hired 30 new part-time staff and spent nearly $200,000 on new equipment to help deal with food preservation issues.
