State Threatens To Shut Down Alteri Bakery Over Failed Inspections

WATERTOWN — The state has threatened to shut down Alteri Bakery if it doesn’t eliminate the severe unsanitary conditions found in consecutive failed food safety inspections.

Owner Thomas W. Scozzafava, however, said he has taken measures to remedy the situation and can continue selling bread and submarine sandwich rolls as he waits for the next inspection in two weeks. He also said the sanitary deficiencies at his bakery, 981 Waterman Drive, have not affected products sold to customers.

“The vast, vast majority of the issues are with products and ingredients of which and for which we no longer make,” Mr. Scozzafava said. “We’re serious about resolving this and to not let this happen to us again.”
