No person-in-charge, improper glove usage: Chattanooga area restaurant inspection reports for week ending Nov. 26, 2024

The Hamilton County, Catoosa County and Walker County health departments inspect food service establishments twice a year, grading them on a 100-point scale. Establishments are reinspected if they fail to meet critical standards. The scores are original and do not reflect on-the-spot changes, which sometimes lead to upward adjustments.

To file a health-related complaint, call:

Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department: 423-209-8110.

Catoosa County Health Department: 706-406-2030.

Walker County Health Department: 706-639-2574.

________

Scores for the week ending Nov. 26.

69 Circle K

11418 Highway 41, Ringgold, Ga.

Reasons include: There was no designated person-in-charge for the kitchen (attempting to share person-in-charge with Subway), there was no certified food safety manager for the kitchen (attempting to share with Subway). The Subway person-in-charge could not provide or otherwise satisfactorily demonstrate during inspection that all food employees and conditional employees are informed of their responsibility to report to management information about their health and activities as it relates to diseases that are transmissible through food. Raw animal foods were stored over ready-to-eat foods — and raw beef was stored over raw pork — in the walk-in freezer, food was being cold held above the proper temperature, unapproved cooling methods were being used, a scoop in breading was not stored with the handle above food level and employee drinks were being stored on the hand-washing sink.

85 Nineteenth Hole

6801 Middle Valley Road

Reasons include: A dented can of marinara sauce was found, a grater in poor repair was being used with build-up not allowing for adequate cleaning and sanitizing, there was a build-up of food on food-contact surfaces, there was water leaking from the hand-sink faucet, the floor was in poor repair and an employee had their phone stored on a food prep surface.

87 Wooden City

203 Broad St.

Reasons include: There were multiple heavily dented cans in the dry storage area, butter was out at room temperature with no time-marking, there was improper glove usage, a cutting board in the food prep area was heavily scored and uncleanable and multiple employee beverages and personal items were being improperly stored.
