As President Donald Trump settles into spending his summer weekends at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort, he may want to peek into the club’s kitchen.
Forbes reported Wednesday that the golf club was flagged for 18 health violations, nine of which were deemed critical, in the latest report issued by the Somerset County Department of Health.
The May 6 report, which was publicly released, rated the club a 32 out of 100 possible points – the lowest score in the county.
Inspectors found expired milk, raw meat that was stored improperly and a dishwasher that wasn’t getting to the required temperature.
Raw meats and eggs are required to be stored separately from ready-to-eat foods.
In the Bedminster kitchen, raw meat was being stored above the cheese, the inspection found.
The milk being used in the kitchen had expired three days before the inspection occurred.
There were four separate hand-washing violations as well.
Sinks lacked soap or the required paper towels for hand drying.
Additionally, no employee with the required ‘food manager level certification’ was present at the time of the inspection.
The club was issued a ‘conditionally satisfactory’ C grade – with management required to hang the sign in public view.
The county inspector commanded the club to fix all the violations and pay a reinspection fee at a county building ahead of the next inspection.
The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to Daily Mail’s request for comment.
This isn’t the first time the New Jersey club’s kitchen has been dinged by county inspectors.
In August 2017, at the end of Trump’s first summer in the White House, NJ.com reported that Bedminster had been cited for at least 17 health code violations during routine inspections between 2011 and 2016.
The reports cited ‘significant fly activity’ in the pool kitchen and main kitchen, dirty utensils with ‘old and encrusted food buildup,’ melons stored at the wrong temperature, dirty wiping cloths, grease-covered fryer units and uncovered and spilled food storage bins.
The infractions were minor enough that the restaurants earned a ‘satisfactory’ grade and remained open.
The Bedminster club opened in 2004 and is where the president has spent his time when the Palm Beach climate at Mar-a-Lago gets too hot.
During the 2024 campaign, Trump used the club to host a handful of press conferences.
When he was elected in 2016, he also used Bedminster as a place where he was interviewing potential Cabinet candidates.
It is the final resting place of Trump’s first wife, Ivana, who was buried on the premises in July 2022.
A year later, the Daily Mail reported that her grave was nearly overgrown.
