Cobb restaurant scores 82 on follow-up inspection

Georgia has rules it requires every food service operation to follow. These are just a few of the many health and safety regulations. Food service operations without a permit are illegal. Employees must know how to prevent foodborne illness and the symptoms of those illnesses. Food must be kept at the correct temperatures to prevent pathogens from growing. Employees must meet standards of cleanliness while working around food. If health laws are not met, the food service's permit may be suspended.

A local Chinese restaurant has improved its food service inspection conducted by the Cobb and Douglas Public Health Department.

Chin Chin Chinese Restaurant at 2800 Spring Road Suite A near Smyrna scored an 82, or B, on its follow-up inspection held March 29. The latest inspection was triggered by the restaurant's failing score of 57 it received on March 18.

The latest report cites the restaurant on cold items inside a cooler being held above 41 degrees Fahrenheit, bags of rice and sugar stored next to the mop sink and two containers of oil stored inside the same sink.

The inspector also noted the lack of hand-washing signs posted at the sushi bar and an open water bottle belonging to an employee stored above the prep cooler.

Chin Chin will be charged for having a third inspection within a 12-month period, according to the report.
