Speak Out: Gwinnett Flying Biscuit Scores '40' in Recent Health Report

This is the second time this year that the breakfast spot has failed its health inspection.

Update, Sept. 13: Now, the restaurant has three failing scores. See why.
-----
Flying Biscuit, a popular metro-Atlanta breakfast cafe, scored a dismal "40/U" during a recent health inspection at its Gwinnett County restaurant.

The inspection took place Sept. 5 at the restaurant, which is located on Peachtree Parkway in the Peachtree Corners and Norcross area. Back in January, the restaurant also posted a failing score.


As a result of the repeat violations, health inspectors temporarily suspended Flying Biscuit's food service permit. The restaurant is operating now, however, as it preps for a re-inspection.

In the Sept. 5 report, some of the problems included:

  • Cooked eggs not protected against contamination by raw egg
  • Foods not maintained at the proper temperatures
  • Foods held in the refrigerator past shelf life
  • Cleaning chemicals stored with food
  • Incorrect health inspection report posted, and not posted in full view of patrons
  • Employee handled trash, and kept working with food in same gloves
  • Cooler shelves dirty with debris and residue
  • Floors dirty with food and debris throughout the kitchen area
In an interview with the Gwinnett Daily Post, the general manager said that everything was corrected at the time of the inspection, and that they "put some tools in place to make sure none of the occurrences continues."

SPEAK OUT: Following its second failing score of the year, will you return to the Gwinnett County Flying Biscuit?
