24 Observed that the bags of ice inside of the ice machine located outside were missing labels that state the name of the business (Zip Trip) and the address where the ice was produced. Packaged food and beverages, including bags of ice, REQUIRE a label with the following information: 1. Common Name of the food or beverage (“Ice”). 2. Name of the business/ establishment 3. Address of the kitchen/ establishment where the food or beverage was prepared/ cooked. The establishment CANNOT sell the bags of ice until the labels have been placed on the bag. Another option the establishment has, is to purchase bags of ice from a licensed establishment and resell the bags of ice. The company they purchase it from MUST provide them a copy of their Food Manufacturing License. If the establishment decides to continue to sell bags of ice, then they are REQUIRED to purchase a Food Manufacturing License from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Ensure the following: 3-602.11(A) Food packaged in a establishment, shall be labeled as specified in law. 3-602.11(B)(4) Label include the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.
47 Observed that the Travis Water Filtration Systems located behind the ice machine was leaking a lot of water on the wall and near an electrical outlet where the ice machine was plugged in. The inspector told the staff to fix the leak/ prevent further water spillage otherwise the establishment has a potential electrical and fire risk (water contacting wall outlet could electrocute staff or cause a spark that leads to a fire). Ensure that the establishment is free of fire and electrical risks.
29 Observed that there were no testing strips near the three-compartment sink or on site for the workers to use. The staff use a scooper to scoop the ice into bags, and they have tongs used for the pickles. The inspector reminded the staff that all food-contact utensils and dishes MUST be Washed (dish soap and water), Rinsed (clean rinse water), and Sanitized (water with Bleach/ Chlorine) every four (4) hours during hours of operation. Ensure that the three-compartment sink is always stocked with testing strips so that the staff can check if the sanitizer concentrations are within acceptable parameters (50 to 100 Parts Per Million (PPM) for Bleach/ Chlorine sanitizers, and 200 to 400 PPM for Quaternary Ammonium sanitizers). The testing strips MUST NOT be expired. Ensure the following: 4-302.14 Sanitizing solutions, testing devices.
19 Observed that the small piping from the ice machine that drips water into a funnel plumbing line located behind the ice machine requires a one-inch air gap. Ensure that all kitchen plumbing maintains an air gap of at least one inch (1”) above the horizontal plane of the floor or from the larger pipe it drains into. 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. Ensure the following: 5-202.13 Backflow prevention, air gap.
19 Observed that the three-compartment sink must be turned on from the cold and hot water valves located to the bottom left of the sink. If the valves are left on, the cold water continues to leak/ run. The inspector instructed the staff to place a maintenance order to repair the leak situation at the three-compartment sink. The cold and hot water should only be turned off at the cold and hot water handles. Observed that there are leaks underneath the “Rinse” compartment of the three-compartment sink. Ensure that a second maintenance order is placed so that there are no longer any leaks observed underneath the three-compartment sink. Ensure that all kitchen and bathroom plumbing are free of leaks and in good repair. Ensure the following: 5-205.15(A) A plumbing system shall be repaired according to the Plumbing Code.

Ensure that all kitchen and bathroom handwash sinks are stocked with hand soap and disposable paper towels during all hours of operation. The hand soap CANNOT be a bar of soap, liquid dish soap, or hand sanitizer. It MUST be liquid or foam hand soap. Ensure that the basins of the handwash sinks are kept clear (should only be used to wash hands). Ensure that all kitchen and bathroom handwash sinks have cold and hot running water. Ensure the following: 6-301.11 Hand washing cleanser, availability. 6-301.12 Hand drying provision.
42 Observed that the bottom chip bag shelf NEEDED to be cleaned and sanitized since there were pieces of chips littered on the shelving. Observed that the thick plumbing pipes behind the ice machine NEED to be cleaned and sanitized since there was black substance growing on the pipe due to the wet environment. The inside roof/ ceiling surface and the edge of the inside metal panel within the ice machine NEED to be cleaned and sanitized to prevent the growth of black substances. Observed that the bottom surfaces of the beer cold table NEED to be cleaned and sanitized to remove any debris accumulation at the bottom. Ensure that all Nonfood 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: 4-601.11(C) Nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment shall be kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris.
7 Observed prepackaged Cotto Salami (Bar S brand) that had a Use By date of May 14, 2024.

The inspector instructed the staff to discard the Salami or return to the distributor/ licensed food retailer for credit. The employee decided to discard the prepackaged Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food that had gone bad. Ensure that all food and beverages are in good condition, unadulterated, and safe to consume. Any prepackaged TCS food or beverage that has gone past the printed Use By date MUST be discarded immediately. Any food item that has a foul smell that is NOT normal MUST immediately be discarded. This shall prevent further contamination of foods stored nearby. Ensure the following: 3-101.11 Food safe, good condition, unadulterated, and honestly presented.
29 Observed a food probe thermometer being used inside of the walk-in cooler that was reading 25 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The inspector instructed the staff to use a fridge thermometer instead. Ensure all cold holds, coolers, refrigerators, mini fridges, freezers, and walk-in coolers have a thermometer that is calibrated, accurate, easily accessible, easily readable, durable, and in good repair. The thermometer MUST be placed in the warmest part of the cooler so that food handlers can check if the cold hold is not working correctly (keeping the food temperatures at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (F), and 32 F for freezers). Ensure the following: 4-204.112(A) Mechanically refrigerated or hot food storage unit, temperature measuring device located at warmest part.

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.
