Government center’s cafe closed after roach complaint

Fulton County health inspectors shut down the cafeteria inside the county government building on Monday after receiving a complaint of roaches, according to a spokeswoman. Environmental Health Services checked out the Chambers Café and gave it a grade of 59. Inspectors marked several items out of compliance under the Foodborne Illness Risk Factors/Public Health Interventions section of the report.

The cafeteria, located off the atrium of the downtown Atlanta Government Center, is operated by a private contractor. “We take food safety very seriously, even in our own facilities,” Health Services Director Patrice Harris said in a written statement.
