The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an Emergency Order of Temporary Suspension for King Buffet, 540 South Broadway Boulevard, Salina, because of violations of state food service regulations. The suspension of the license became effective November 8th.
The order was issued based upon findings of imminent public health hazards revealed during recent inspections. The inspections were conducted by KDHE, and review the facility's procedures and equipment for sanitation and food storage, handling, and preparation.
State law allows the KDHE Division of Health to suspend a facility's license for violations of state regulations adopted pursuant to the Kansas Food Service and Lodging Act. The laws are intended to protect the public from food-borne illness.
