Ice machine residue, temp issues, mislabeled food in latest Columbus restaurant violations

Each month, inspectors from the Georgia Department of Public Health visit restaurants and other establishments in Columbus to ensure proper food-handling and safety practices are followed. Inspectors visited more than 70 Muscogee County restaurants, lounges, hotels and other establishments during October. Among them, 25 received perfect scores, with 35 also receiving an A. Thirteen received a B, and none received a C. How the grading works During inspections , restaurants receive one of four letter grades that are assigned based on how many points are deducted from 100: An A grade, for 90-100 points, means food safety is excellent. A B grade, for 80-89 points, means satisfactory compliance. A C grade, for 70-79 points, means marginal compliance. A U grade, for 69 points or fewer, means unsatisfactory compliance. Establishments that receive a C or U will have at least one additional routine inspection added in 12 months, according to state law . Earning a B does not necessitate a follow-up inspection. Residents can find information about all inspections at the Georgia Department of Public Health’s online portal . Here are the Columbus inspection scores in October, including violations noted by the inspectors in their reports: Columbus restaurants receiving B grades
