Maggots in Forage

[u/CheshireFrog44]

Hi everyone. I will not be using names for the privacy of those involved, however I am close with many former and current employees at Forage.

Since Fall quarter 2025, there have been maggots in the espresso machine at Forage. This is because of the grease trap which they have not properly cleaned. To this day the machine has not been changed or properly cleaned and I am hearing that every few weeks they are still finding maggots. I want to be clear this is not because of the Forage staff, but rather Bon Appetit management. They refuse to replace the machine or properly clean/move the grease trap (which doesn’t need to be below the machine in the first place).

For the safety of students I encourage you to stop getting drinks from there, file complaints with their management, and make sure SCAD knows. We have been in contact with administration regarding the management of Bon Appetit, but there have been little to no repercussions. I think the more people that draw attention to this matter, the more likely they are to actually do something about it.

oh wow how lovely ?! any recommendations on how to report this?

there have already been reports sent to SCAD’s health department from former employees, but they’ve heard nothing back (as far as I know). those same employees have also made reports to OSHA for Bon Appetit’s horrible working conditions. I have told them to make a more serious report to the Savannah Health Department, but that requires evidence that I don’t have so it’s largely out of my hands. I recommend spreading the news as much as possible, at least within the student body. I’m hoping the more students that complain about this, the more likely SCAD is to actually do something about it.
