Only a day after hosting a star studded $10 million re-launch party that was attended by many famous faces including Swizz Beatz, Russell Simmons, Warren Buffett and others, Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club was ordered closed by the Health Department after the club got a “C” grade following a health inspection.

According to a post that was published by the NY Post, a health inspector witnessed a worker at the nightclub mixing salsa with his bare hands and it was reported that the inspector also found perishable food at dangerously warm temperatures inside the nightclub’s walk-in refrigerator.

Ron Berkowitz, a rep for the club, explained that the motor in the fridge blew just moments before the health inspector arrived, which caused the temperature to rise. He explained to TMZ. He also explained that the kitchen staff quickly detected the problem, and had no intentions of using the food that was stored in the broken fridge, which the rep says was fixed by noon the next day.

The refrigerator was at a rancid 60 degrees instead of 41 — jeopardizing the safety of 50 pounds of raw chicken wings, five pounds of raw shrimp and 100 turkey burgers, the sources said.

Five pounds of cooked mashed potatoes, meanwhile, were left out at a temperature of 89 degrees, while 10 pounds of cooked rice and 50 turkey burgers were kept at 67 degrees. All the hot foods should be at least 140 degrees, the sources said.

The club’s restaurant was immediately closed, and new patrons were barred from entering. Those already inside were allowed to remain.

“If you have a walk-in place with food like this, you put a hell of a lot of people at risk,” said the source. “A night of dinner and dancing should not include the risk of contracting food-borne illness.”
