A Suwanee restaurant failed a health inspection with multiple serious food safety violations that could make you sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f What We Know:<\/strong> Health inspectors found alarming conditions at Hashtag India on Johns Creek Parkway during a routine inspection March 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to health inspectors, the restaurant’s manager didn’t know chicken should reach 165 degrees to kill harmful bacteria. Instead, they claimed temperatures between 120 and 160 degrees were enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspectors found dirty utensils sitting directly on uncovered food. When told this was a violation, the manager threw the contaminated food away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The restaurant stored foods in the wrong order in refrigerators, creating cross-contamination risks between raw and ready-to-eat items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staff used improper cooling methods, leaving large batches of food sitting in deep pans on countertops where they couldn’t cool quickly enough to prevent bacteria growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cold foods sat at temperatures above 41 degrees, while hot foods dipped below the required 135 degrees \u2013 both danger zones for bacterial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The restaurant tried to reheat frozen soup in warming equipment not designed for cooking, failed to sanitize dishes properly, and reused single-use yogurt containers for food storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspectors even found food stored in orange 5-gallon buckets from Home Depot instead of food-grade containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The restaurant’s exterior door had gaps letting in flies, which were spotted in the kitchen during inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f Why It Matters:<\/strong> These violations create perfect conditions for foodborne illness that could land you in the hospital. When restaurants don’t maintain proper food temperatures or prevent cross-contamination, everyone who eats there faces unnecessary health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udd22 By The Numbers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udea8 Take Action:<\/strong> Check restaurant scores before dining by calling 770-781-6909.
