9 * 228.66(a)(1)(B)(i) Food protected cross contamination separating types of raw animal food storage, preparation, holding, display. Raw animal product must be stored away from or below prepared and ready to eat foods in storage. Prepared, ready-to-eat do not need to be heated to 165 F unless placing in hot hold. So, they do not need heating to the cook (kill) temperature require for raw animal foods. Vegetables do not need any cooking to kill bacteria. Vegetables from the field, not processed to remove dirt and bacteria, should not be stored above ready to eat and processed vegetables. Raw animal foods are stacked in accordance with cooking temperature (kill Temp). The highest cooking temperature is stored below the lower cooking temperature. Examples: Raw chicken, 165 F, would be stored below raw hamburger, 155 F. Raw shelled eggs, 145 F, would be stored above, 155 F. Equal cooking temperatures can be stored on the same shelf. Observed a tube of hamburger meat in a container with sliced bacon and vacuum packed whole intact beef. Raw hamburger having a cooking temperature of 155 degrees, must be stored away from or below. Whole intact beef having a cooking temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The bacon slices should be treated as ground meet and must not be stored in the same container with intact beef. These items were removed. and exposed meats discarded.

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.
