34 Observed daylight peering through the middle of the entrance doors. The establishment MUST install weather stripping or some form of barrier to block out the sunlight that shines through the gap between the doors. The establishment may weld a flat piece of metal that blocks out the daylight if it does NOT prevent the door from closing securely. All exits and entrances MUST have a self-closing, tight-fitting mesh screen door that prevent insects and pests from entering the establishment (no daylight should shine/ peer through the doorframe). This shall reduce the points of entry for pests. Ensure the following: 6-202.15(A) Outer openings, protected.
31 Observed that the hot water at the women’s bathroom handwash sink reached 90 degrees Fahrenheit (F) during the start of the inspection. Hot water was being diverted to the three-compartment sink to wash the dishes. By the end of the inspection the hot water reached above 100 F since hot water was not being run at the three-compartment sink. Ensure that all kitchen and bathroom handwash sinks have cold and hot running water. The hot water for the handwash sink MUST always reach a MINIMUM of 100 degrees Fahrenheit (F) during all hours of operation. The hot water should NOT fluctuate or fall below 100 F. If hot water is being produced at one kitchen sink at a time, then the establishment MUST PURCHASE AND INSTALL A WATER HEATER WITH A LARGER CAPACITY THAT CAN SUPPLY HOT WATER TO ALL KITCHEN AND BATHRROM SINKS DURING ALL HOURS OF OPERATION, ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HOURS.

24 Observed four prepackaged desserts inside of the refrigerator unit in front of the register where customers may grab them and purchase them. The inspector told the Certified Food Manager (CFM) that they NEED to place labels on the prepackaged desserts or store them in refrigerators behind the register. Ensure that packaged food and beverages placed in a self-serve area of the establishment (where customers may grab the food and take to the register), are given a sticker label that states the five following criteria: 1. Common Name of the food item or beverage. 2. Name of the business/ establishment 3. Full Address of the kitchen where the food item or beverage was prepared/baked. 4. List of Ingredients (from the ingredient that compromises most of the food item, to the ingredient with the lowest amount comprising the dish) 5. Allergens 6. Preparation and Use By dates If the food products are produced and purchased by another licensed food establishment, then that food establishment MUST provide the labels and a copy of their State Manufacturing License. To begin the process of getting a State Manufacturing License, please call: (512) 834-6626. The establishment has the option to store the packaged food behind the front counter (out of customer reach) so that they do not have to place the labeling (ONLY IF PREPARED ON SITE). The establishment MAY NOT PURCHASE packaged food or beverages from cottage food vendors or from vendors that prepare the food or beverages at a private home/ residence. All food and beverages MUST be purchased from a Licensed Food Establishment. Ensure the following: 3-602.11(A) Food packaged in a establishment, shall be labeled as specified in law. 3-602.11(B)(2) Label include if made from two or more ingredients, a list of ingredients and sub-ingredients in descending order. 3-602.11(B)(4) Label include the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.
19 Observed that hot water would still leak out of the left faucet of the three-compartment sink.

These hoses MUST be raised out of the funneled drains and maintain one inch of air above the top rim of the funneled drains. Ensure that all kitchen plumbing maintains an air gap of at least one inch (1”) above the kitchen floor of the establishment or above a raised drain. If the diameter of the pipe is larger than one inch, then the air gap is double the diameter (example: A kitchen pipe that has a diameter of two inches NEEDS an air gap of at least four inches above the kitchen floor). This shall prevent contamination of the plumbing lines in the event of a sewage backflow. This rule applies to restaurant grade hoses or plumbing that comes from appliances such as ice machines and cold holds. The pipes can be cut at an angle to ensure that the discarded water still flows into the floor drain. Ensure the following: 5-202.13 Backflow prevention, air gap.

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.
