34 Observed that the exit door was propped open during the routine inspection. All exits and entrances MUST have a self-closing, tight-fitting mesh screen door that prevent insects and pests from entering the establishment. The mesh for the screen doors MUST be 16 mesh to 25.4 mm (16 mesh to 1 inch) screens, or the establishment may install properly designed and installed air curtains to control flying insects. The mesh screen doors MUST be self-closing and tight-fitting (no daylight should shine/ peer through the doorframe). This shall reduce the points of entry for pests. Ensure the following: 6-202.15(D) Windows or doors protected against the entry criteria.
29 Observed that two of the sanitizer buckets had Ecolab Sink and Surface cleaner sanitizer solutions. The inspector tested two of the solutions and observed that the concentration was above the REQUIRED 272 to 700 Parts Per Million (PPM) range. The establishment shall have to reduce the concentration of the sanitizer so that it is not considered too strong/ toxic. Ensure that all sanitizer solutions used to disinfect food-contact surfaces of dishes and utensils have a concentration that falls within the acceptable manufacturer range. Please call Ecolab and ask what the highest allowed concentration is, and what water temperature is best to activate the sanitizer. Ensure the following: 4-501.116 Concentration of the sanitizing solution shall be accurately determined by using a test kit or other device.
10 Observed two metal pans/ containers that had leftover stains on their inside food-contact surfaces. Ensure that all food-contact surfaces are clean to sight and touch. Ensure that all food-contact surfaces are Washed, Rinsed, and Sanitized so that there is no leftover food debris or stains that can harbor pathogenic bacteria. Leftover food debris and bacteria can contaminate the next food or beverage the food-contact dish or utensil encounters. If the pans or containers of food still have food debris stuck on it after being Sanitized, then they MUST be Washed, Rinsed, and Sanitized again. The CFM moved the metal pans to the three-compartment sink to be washed again. The inspector highly recommended that the dishes be soaked so that the food stains or grease are removed easier. Ensure the following: 4-601.11(A) Food-contact surfaces clean to sight and touch.
19 Observed PVC plumbing pipes going into the floor drain at the bar area. Observed PVC plumbing pipes below the dishwashing machine go inside of the floor drain. All PVC plumbing pipes and hoses that come from sinks and kitchen equipment/ appliances MUST have an air gap of one inch above the horizontal plane of the floor. The establishment shall NEED to place maintenance orders to have the pipes raised and cut. The air gaps MUST be maintained by using pipe holders or using zip ties to tie it to something and prevent it from falling into the floor drain again. 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.
31 Observed a kitchen handwash sink reach 87 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit (F) at the start of the inspection, then it reached above 100 F later. The inspector checked again near the end of the inspection, and it reached 96 to 98 F. A second handwash sink reached 75 to 77 F. 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. Ensure the following: 5-202.12(A) Hand washing facility provide water at a temperature of at least 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) through a mixing valve or combination faucet.

Score 100
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. |
