A follow-up inspection is scheduled for on or before March 27. If violations are not corrected, the restaurant&#8217;s permit could be suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspectors observed an employee wash their hands for just five seconds \u2014 in cold water \u2014 and then dry them with a reusable cloth instead of a paper towel. Health code requires employees to wash hands for at least 20 seconds using warm water and a cleaning compound, followed by a proper hand-drying method. Inspectors say they demonstrated the correct procedure to the employee on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another instance, an employee touched their face with gloved hands and then continued preparing food without changing gloves. The food items involved were thrown out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hand sink at the server station was also being used to dump ice and drinks \u2014 a violation, since hand sinks must remain accessible and dedicated solely to handwashing. The sink was cleaned during the inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the walk-in cooler, inspectors found multiple containers of raw ground beef stored above ready-to-eat sauces \u2014 a cross-contamination risk. Those items were moved to their proper storage locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspectors also flagged multiple spray bottles of chemicals \u2014 including degreaser, sanitizer and multi-surface cleaner \u2014 sitting without labels. Workers labeled the bottles before inspectors left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several employees were observed handling food while wearing bracelets and watches, which is not permitted under health code. The employees removed the jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant was also cited because key drop food deliveries were not being logged with temperature records as required, and because the facility lacked a temperature test strip or thermometer for its high-temperature dish machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspectors noted that all cold-holding and hot-holding temperatures were in compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments can be reached at 770-963-5132.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Buffalo Wild Wings in Peachtree Corners is on the clock after a routine health inspection left the restaurant with a failing grade.
