2 Observed Pig Lard (“Manteca de Cerdo”) inside of the Coca Cola refrigerator that does not keep Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food at 41 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or lower. The labeling on the containers of pig lard stated: “must be kept at temperatures of 32 t0 39 degrees Fahrenheit (F)… Not a shelf stable product”. The inspector explained to the owner that he has two options: a) store the pig lard in a refrigerator that is working correctly, or b) call the company that produces the pig lard to ask if the labeling was an error (confirm whether it is a TCS product and get documentation that states it is not). The pig lard was temping at 73 F inside of the Coca Cola Refrigerator. Ensure that all Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food and beverages are kept at a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or lower inside cold holds, coolers, reach-in coolers, refrigerators, and walk-in coolers.

A form of barrier is also allowed between the bare hand and the food item (example: food-grade paper, food-grade thin plastic sheets, a utensil, aluminum foil, etc.). No bare handling is allowed unless the Establishment submits a Variance Plan to the Food and Environmental department of San Antonio. The Variance Plan MUST be APPROVED by the Food and Environmental Services Manager for their Bare Hand Contact Plan. If a food item is going through a “kill step” (heated up to 135 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or higher, depending on the Time/ Temperature Control for safety (TCS) food item), then bare-handling is permitted (Example: Raw chicken that was chopped up to be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for at least fifteen seconds).

31 Observed that the kitchen handwash sink only had a bar of soap and dish soap. All handwash sinks are REQUIRED to have liquid or foam handwash soap for Food Handlers to use when they wash and disinfect their hands. The staff replenished the handwash station with handwash soap. Ensure the following: 6-301.11 Hand washing cleanser, availability.
2 Observed fried potatoes, fried yesterday, in the hot hold, but they were at ambient temperature (inspector temped the fried potatoes at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (F), 71 F, and 72 F). For future reference, any cooked Time/ Control for Safety (TCS) food items MUST be cooled from 135 F to 70 F within 2 hours, and then from 70 F to 41 F within 4 hours. If they cooled it down from 135 F to 70 F sooner, then they add the left-over time to the 4 hours (ex. Cooled steak from 135 F to 70 F in an hour and thirty minutes, then the time for it to cool from 70 F to 41 F is 4 hours and 30 minutes. If the TCS food item is not cooling down fast enough and will not cool down to the proper temperatures in time, then the Food Handlers MUST reheat the food to 165 F and restart the cooling process. Proper cooling methods include portioning the TCS foods into shallow pans (do NOT overfill) and laying it in an ice bath. Using Ice Sticks/ Rods to constantly stir the hot food in a large container also aids in cooling down the food. Throwing ice onto the food to cool it down (acts as an ingredient) is also an option. Do NOT place a hot food item into a reach-in cooler or walk-in cooler because the igloo effect shall occur (food gets cold on the outside, but still very hot on the inside). The hot food item could also raise the temperature of the cooler, causing the other food items to increase in temperatures. Ensure that all Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food items and beverages are kept at a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or lower inside cold holds, coolers, reach-in coolers, refrigerators, and walk-in coolers. If a TCS food item is kept at temperatures above 41 F for more than four (4) hours, then they MUST be immediately discarded. The fried potatoes were discarded by the staff. Ensure the following: 3-501.16(A)(2) Cold Hold (41°F/45°F or below).
3 Observed Chorizo in a hot hold temping at 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F), 122 F, and 131 F. The inspector asked at what time the Chorizo was finished being cooked. The staff replied at 06:00 AM. The establishment has until 10:00 AM to use the Chorizo before they MUST discard the food. Ensure that hot Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food items are maintained at 135 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or higher after being cooked. If they are out of temperature for more than four (4) hours, then they MUST immediately be discarded. Hot holds, steam tables, or warming racks MUST retain the internal temperature of the food item at a MINIMUM of 135 F. If a TCS food item stored in a hot hold is below 135 F for more than four (4) hours, then it MUST immediately be discarded. The staff turned up the temperature for the left side of the hot hold. Ensure the following: 3-501.16(A)(1) Hot Hold (135°F or higher).
9 Observed raw chicken stored in the same metal pan as raw pork without a form of barrier or a form of separation such as plastic wrapping or Ziploc bags. Ensure that all raw meats are stored in their own separate pans with a form of cover, lid, or wrapping to prevent cross contamination of raw animal products. Having a cover, lid, or wrapping shall prevent the juices from the raw meats from spilling into other pans in the event that a Food Handler accidentally tips the pan, and the juices fall into another raw meat or Ready to Eat (RTE) food pan. The staff discarded the raw chicken and raw pork. Ensure the following: 3-302.11(A)(2) Food protected cross contamination separating types of raw animal food storage, preparation, holding, display.
29 Observed a Bleach sanitizing bucket with a concentration of ~ 25 Parts Per Million (PPM). Ensure that Bleach/ Chlorine sanitizers have a concentration of 50 to 100 Parts Per Million (PPM), and Quaternary Ammonium sanitizers have a concentration of 200 to 400 PPM. These concentrations are NEEDED to effectively sanitize food-contact surfaces and nonfood contact surfaces. If the concentrations are too high, then the sanitizers shall contaminate the food-contact and nonfood-contact surfaces of the dishes. If the concentration is too low, then the surfaces shall not be disinfected, and the growth of pathogenic microorganisms shall contaminate the next food item that is placed. The concentration was corrected to 50 PPM. Ensure the following: 4-501.116 Concentration of the sanitizing solution shall be accurately determined by using a test kit or other device.
33 Observed that the hot water for the mop sink was only reaching 103 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The mop/ service sink is REQUIRED to reach 110 F during all hours of operation. The inspector has instructed the staff to place a maintenance order to increase the hot water to 110 F or higher.

NOTE: The City of San Antonio Metropolitan Health District presents food establishment "Inspection Scores" calculated from a perfect 100 score minus any identified violations and subsequent demerits. The demerits system is computed based upon the number of violations found during a regular food establishment inspection. There are three categories of demerits and each are assigned a demerit score of 3, 2 or 1 points. A total demerit score of zero (0) indicates no violations were noted at the time of the inspection and is therefore reflected in a calculated "Inspections Score" of 100. It should be noted that a score of zero (0) demerits or a calculated "Inspection Score" of 100 does not mean that absolute perfect conditions exist at a facility/restaurant, and should not be the basis for any expectation by visitors. Scores and demerits listed on this site only represent the state of the facility/restaurant at the time of inspection.

Any reference to specific food establishments or facilities does not constitute its endorsement or recommendation by the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District.
