College Park’s November Health Inspection Unveils Concerning Results for Local Restaurant

College Park’s Latest Health Inspection Report: What You Need to Know

Hey there, College Park! If you’re a food lover in our vibrant community, you’ll want to hear the latest on the health inspections that affect our favorite dining spots. Health inspections are crucial for keeping our food safe and our dining experiences enjoyable. This month, we’re diving into the findings from November 2024, and let’s just say there are some important details that restaurants and diners should keep in mind!

One Establishment Falls Short

In a bit of concerning news, only one establishment in Fulton County received a failing health inspection grade, scoring a “U” for a lowly 64 points out of 100. This score represents a decline from previous visits, with scores of 89 in April and 74 the month before. The site in question is located at 2818 Camp Creek Pkwy, College Park, GA 30337, with the inspection taking place on November 5, 2024.

Inspection Details: What Went Wrong?

Okay, so what were the exact issues that led to such a poor score? According to the inspection notes, there was a rather alarming list of health and safety violations. Would you believe there was a mildew-like buildup on the cutting board? Not exactly appetizing! Additionally, heavy debris was found inside and around kitchen equipment, which is definitely a red flag. There were also bulk sauce containers that were uncovered and unlabeled, which could risk cross-contamination.

The inspection didn’t stop there. There were reports of grease and condensate dripping from the exhaust hood system. This is not only messy but also poses a potential fire hazard. And to top it all off, holes in the walls and cracked tiles throughout the main kitchen raised more concerns about cleanliness and maintenance.

Why Do Health Inspections Matter?

Health inspections are designed to catch potential problems before they lead to serious issues, including foodborne illness outbreaks. They assess not only the overall cleanliness and operational standards of a dining establishment but also any practices that could introduce pathogens into the food we eat. It’s a vital part of keeping our food safe and protecting the health of the community.

What Can Be Done?

Now, if you’re a restaurant owner reading this, don’t worry—there are solutions available! Many common issues that lead to failed health inspections, like dirty ice machines, can be addressed effectively.
