19 Observed a white plumbing pipe go into the floor drain below the Wash compartment of the three-compartment sink. The Certified Food Manager (CFM) explained that they extended the pipe because it was not draining the wastewater properly into the floor drain. The inspector explained that the pipe CANNOT go into the floor drain because of the risk of contamination from sewage backflows. The inspector instructed the CFM to place a maintenance order to cut or replace the pipe so that it has a one inch air gap above the top of the floor drain. The white pipe below the vegetable prep sink MUST also be cut by one inch so that it has an air gap above the floor drain grating. 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.
10 Observed two clean metal pans on the clean dish shelf that had small pieces of food debris and stains on the food-contact surfaces. Ensure that all food-contact surfaces are clean to sight and touch. Leftover food debris/ stains can harbor pathogenic microorganisms and contaminate the next food that is placed on that surface. The CFM instructed the Food Handler to rewash the dishes. Ensure the following: 4-601.11(A) Food-contact surfaces clean to sight and touch.

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. |
