A North Georgia restaurant cut it close during a recent health inspection.
Subway, located at 108 N. Main Street in LaFayette, received a score of 71 for various reasons, including raw fruits and vegetables not being washed before preparation. Employees didn't understand health reporting requirements, food safety procedures and temperature control.
During the inspection, several staff members were seen changing gloves without washing hands. Sliced deli meats, cheese and vegetables were also found to be held above 41 degrees with lids staying off the products all day.
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.
