In the recent health inspection conducted at the Burger King located off Peachtree Industrial Boulevard at Winters Chapel Road in Gwinnett County, inspectors uncovered a range of hygiene issues that resulted in a failing grade of 48 and a designation of “U” for unsatisfactory.
Among the critical findings were instances of improper storage practices, including cups and straws being stored on the floor, and raw beef and chicken placed directly on the floor, potentially exposing them to contamination. Furthermore, inspectors discovered a concerning mold-like build-up inside the drink nozzles and ice machine, posing a significant health risk to customers.
Upon inquiry, the Burger King manager initially declined to comment on the inspection findings. However, subsequent actions were taken by the management to address the identified issues promptly. Following the initial inspection, the restaurant underwent rigorous corrective measures to ensure compliance with health regulations. As a result of these efforts, a reinspection was conducted, which yielded a significantly improved score of 99, indicating a marked enhancement in hygiene standards and operational practices.
The swift response from Burger King’s corporate office underscores the company’s commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of its customers and employees. By promptly addressing the identified deficiencies and implementing corrective measures, Burger King demonstrates its dedication to maintaining high standards of food safety and hygiene across its establishments.
