Believe it or Not: Another 'U' for Gwinnett Flying Biscuit in Re-Inspection

The Gwinnett Flying Biscuit's food service permit was suspended Thursday -- the second time this month, following yet another unhealthy restaurant inspection.

On Sept. 12, it posted a '59/U' during a re-inspection, which was prompted by a failing score earlier this month. On Sept. 5, it scored a '40/U.'


Officials from the restaurant, located on Peachtree Parkway in the Norcross and Peachtree Corners area, were due at a compliance hearing Sept. 13. They must bring a plan for corrective action.

This is the third time this year that the popular breakfast spot has failed a health inspection. In addition to this month's scores, the restaurant posted a '65/U' in January.

Here's some of the violations noted in the re-inspection report:

• Observed lack of active managerial control: Several repeat violations in risk factor categories observed during the inspection.
• Employee removed earbuds from ears, and then he continued to work with dough -- without washing hands.
• Plates, prep knives, sheet pans, can opener and cutting boards had food debris on them following cleaning.
• Food items stored near sanitizer powder, liquid hand soap, chafing fuel, and dry wall spackle.
• Floor tiles are in disrepair or missing in several locations in the kitchen.
