A McDonald’s near Austell failed a recent health inspection.
The restaurant attached to the golden arches at 843 Thornton Road in Lithia Springs, right on the Cobb-Douglas county line, scored a 67/U on its Wednesday health check.
According to the report, there was food debris throughout the kitchen and several employees who didn’t have their hair restrained as required.
The inspector also observed a “soiled” ice machine, the report said. There was “black material” inside the machine.
A supervisor, who didn’t identify herself, answered the eatery’s phone Friday and said everything was fixed but wouldn’t specify what had been done.
That supervisor said a director of operations would call The Atlanta Journal-Constitution back with specifics, but that hadn’t happened as of later that afternoon.
The corporate McDonald’s communications staff also weren’t immediately available for comment.
According to the report, this location scored a 97/A during its last health check on May 22.
Follow-up inspections are usually done within 10 days of the original evaluation.
