Michelin-starred eatery fined for food safety violation
COPENHAGEN, Denmark » A Danish restaurant with three Michelin stars has been fined $2,840 for storing fresh shellfish at too high temperatures.
When inspectors with Denmark’s food administration visited the Geranium restaurant in Copenhagen on Sept. 29 on a regular random visit, they frowned.
Crayfish, scallops and oysters were kept in fridges with temperatures up to 48.6 F — far above the maximum 35.6 F.
Geranium chef Rasmus Kofoed told public broadcaster DR the errors had been corrected but admitted they may “have been a bit inattentive.”
He didn’t believe the fine would any impact on regular customers. In February, the eatery became the first Danish restaurant to be awarded three stars ever.

The food in Denmark is spectacular. This must be quite a place to get that many stars. The bad publicity will be forgotten by next weekend.
