There were no failures, but three Chattanooga area restaurants received low scores this week after Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department inspections.
A manager not in control of several food-borne illness risk factors and ice buildup dripping on uncovered, unprotected food were among the reasons for the inferior marks.
Four area eateries received a perfect score of 100.
___
The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department inspects restaurants twice a year and grades the businesses on a 100-point scale. Scores below 70 require corrective action.
Restaurants are reinspected if they fail to meet critical standards. To file a health-related complaint, call the Department of Environmental Health at 209-8110. The scores are original and do not reflect on-the-spot changes, which sometimes lead to upward adjustments.
