What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

City inspectors documented significant food safety problems during a hot weekend at Taste of Chicago, which featured 81 vendors. Inspectors logged over 160 health code violations at the festival, with more than half of the listed vendors receiving violations. Issues included food being prepared in bushes, overflowing garbage, and over 800 pounds of food being discarded due to improper temperatures. The report also noted little evidence that private events, such as Lollapalooza, are inspected by the Chicago Department of Public Health.
