Fenway Park Ranks 2nd In Study Of Ballpark Food Safety

But Sox fans can take solace in knowing that, while pricey, Fenway’s food is comparatively less likely to make you sick than what’s being served at other Major League Baseball ballparks.

Sports Illustrated released their ranking of the ballparks Tuesday using info from public health inspection records across the USA and Canada, and Fenway Park came in second place.

In total, Fenway had 30 violations, according to the report, though only two of them were deemed “critical”. One round of inspections also occurred when numerous stands weren’t serving food, but the magazine also scrutinized a midseason inspection from 2016 and found, “that there were actually even fewer violations past year”.

In comparison, the median number of critical violations found at all the parks in the study was 24. While the Rodgers Centre (home of the Blue Jays) ranked seventh overall, the Yankees ranked 21st, the Orioles 26th, and the Rays 28th.

The stadium with the safety food, according to SI, is Safeco Field in Seattle, and the least safest is Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay.

Thirty-eight violations, and 12 critical violations sounds very bad, but SI says food experts they have spoken with say people should not be anxious.
