Zaxby's on Sugarloaf fails inspection with unsafe food temps

A Zaxby’s on Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville failed a routine health inspection with numerous violations of unsafe food temperatures.

A boiled egg and sliced cheese were above the temperature range in the cooler and were discarded.

Cooked boneless wings, chicken tenders and marinara sauce were out of the safe temperature range. These were also discarded.

Some frozen chicken had been left to thaw for five hours and was too warm. It was thrown away.

Among other violations, the interior of the ice bins in the drive-through and dining room were dirty with black debris.

Employees were wearing jewelry on their hands and arms while preparing food. One of the hand sinks was used for dumping ice.
