• Tracy’s Fried Chicken, 612 N. Lee St., Americus — Aug. 13 — 87 B
— Observed food storage container on counter that was sticky/greasy. Food storage containers should be washed/rinsed and sanitized, so they are clean to sight and touch. Observed dish racks in dish wash area with grease build-up on them. These should be washed/rinsed and sanitized so they are clean to sight and touch.
