Inspector Finds Improper Food Handling and Storage, Flies in Food Area and More
Inspection grades for five Norcross restaurants range from 82-B to 88-B. Find out if your favorite eatery is on the list.
Following is a list of five Norcross restaurants which have been inspected recently by the Gwinnett County's Board of Health.
Inspectors from the Board inspect area restaurants every six months and then grade them based on extensive criteria that include everything from food being stored at proper temperatures to employee hygiene.
Restaurants are required to display these reports in a prominent place for diners to view. This is what we found in a random search of inspections on the county's website.
