14 Observed a Food Handler touch the inside of a trash can and then use the same gloves to handle whole chiles. The inspector reminded them that once they go from handling food to another task, and then back to food handling, then they MUST remove their old gloves, wash their hands with hot water (reaches a MINIMUM of 100 degrees Fahrenheit (F)) for at LEAST twenty (20) seconds with hand soap, and then don new, clean gloves. The inspector observed that the Food Handler quickly rinsed their hands at the handwash sink with the old gloves still on. The Certified Food Manager (CFM) instructed them to remove and discard the old gloves and rewash their hands before going back to food preparation. Ensure that all Food Handlers, before returning to handling and preparing food, take off and discard their old gloves and wash their hands with hot water (100 degrees Fahrenheit (F)) for at least twenty (20) seconds with hand soap. The Food Handler MUST have a disposable paper towel ready to be used for two reasons: 1) to prevent the worker from touching the lever or handle that dispenses the paper towels 2) To use the paper towel that was used to dry the hands as a barrier to turn off the hot and cold-water handles. After washing their hands, the Food Handler MUST don new gloves. Ensure the following: 2-301.14 When to wash. 2-301.12(A) Cleaning procedure--time frame (20 seconds). 3-304.15(A) Gloves single use.
28 Observed two black containers of beans, that were prepared yesterday, missing labels that have the name of the food, the preparation date, and the Use By date. Observed a container of cooked Chorizo, prepared on Monday, missing a label that states the preparation and Use By date. Ensure that all Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food are given a label that states the name to identify the food, the preparation date, and the Use By date. Ensure that any Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food or beverages, such as hand-made salsas and sauces, stored within the establishment are given a preparation date and a Use-By date. The Use-By date has up to twenty-four (24) hours to be labeled on the container from the time it is placed inside a cold hold unit. The TCS food item or beverage MUST be discarded after seven days at the end of the shift (7 days: day of preparation and six days after that). Ensure that the dates are correct. Ensure the following: 3-501.17(A) Date marking prepare on site RTE/ TCS food.
15 Observed one Food Handler directly touch cooked tortillas in Ready to Eat (RTE) form to reheat on the flat grill. The inspector educated them that since the tortilla was NOT in a raw dough form it has to be handled as a RTE food, so they MUST use gloves, a spatula, aluminum foil, food-grade wax paper, or some form of approved barrier to flip and reheat the tortillas. Ensure that the staff are wearing gloves when cooking, preparing, or modifying food (Example: handling cooked tortillas while assembling tacos). A form of barrier is also allowed between the bare hand and the food item (example: food-grade paper, food-grade thin plastic wax paper, 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). Ensure the following: 3-301.11(B) Bare hands contact with ready-to-eat foods.
39 Observed the ice scooper resting on the top surface of the ice machine instead of inside the designated holder. Observed the sugar scooper handle touching part of the sugar granules it was stored in. Ensure that all food scoopers/ utensils are stored in the food with the handle above (the handles are grabbed by hands, so the handle touching a food item will contaminate it). Scoopers may also be stored in their separate bucket/ pan if the bucket/ pan is cleaned and sanitized frequently. If the establishment wishes to lay the ice scooper on the top of the ice machine, then they NEED to show a document that shows that they wipe down the top of the ice machine every two to four hours. Ensure the following: 3-304.12(A) In-use utensils, between-use storage. During pauses in food preparation or dispensing, food preparation and dispensing utensils shall be stored except as specified under subsection (B) of this section, in the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container.

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.
