42 Observed black and yellow substances on the white surface inside the ice machine in the main kitchen. Ensure that all Non-Food Contact Surfaces are cleaned and sanitized with Bleach/ Chlorine solutions that have a concentration of 50 to 100 Parts Per Million (PPM), or with Quaternary Ammonium solutions with concentrations of 200 to 400 PPM. This shall prevent the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that can contaminate food. Ensure the following: 4-602.13 Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues.
19 Observed that the copper pipe below the steam table went into the floor drain. Ensure that the copper pipe is cut so that it has a one-inch (1”) air gap above the grating of the floor drain. The inspector saw a white PVC pipe inside the “Plastic Serving Utensils” that appeared to go inside of a floor drain, but the inspector could not verify. If the white PVC pipe also goes into a floor drain, then it MUST also be given an air gap of one inch. Ensure that all kitchen plumbing maintains an air gap of at least one inch (1”) above the grating of the floor 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 drain). 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 come from appliances such as ice machines and cold holds. 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.
