CHURCH'S FRIED CHICKEN ON HIGHWAY 35 IN PORT LAVACA CAME IN WITH 41 DEMERITS... THE MOST THIS WEEK.

INSPECTORS SAY EMPLOYEES WERE NOT FOLLOWING PROPER HYGIENE PROCEDURES, THERE WERE ISSUES WITH CROSS-CONTAMINATION.

THERE WERE CRICKETS, GRASSHOPPERS, A SPIDER AND A FLY DINING IN -- AND THE EATERY DID NOT HAVE A CURRENT PERMIT.

LUPITAS EARLY SIZZLIN ON SOUTH LAURENT WAS GIVEN 15 DEMERITS.

FOOD NEEDS TO BE COVERED AND STORED PROPERLY TO AVOID CROSS CONTAMINATION, MEAT NEEDS TO BE DEFROSTED PROPERLY AND THE UTENSILS WERE DIRTY.

A RE-INSPECTION WAS DONE AT TEXAS SEAFOOD.

THERE WERE STILL ISSUES WITH COLD FOOD TEMPERATURES, CROSS-CONTAMINATION CONCERNS BECAUSE THE NOODLES WERE UNDER RAW FOOD... AND IMPROPER DEFROSTING OF FOOD.

HEALTH INSPECTORS HAVE BEEN TO TEJAS CAFÉ SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS... AND THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS. INSPECTORS FOUND THE TABLE TOP COOLER ABOUT 9 DEGREES TOO WARM. ITEMS LIKE SALAD DRESSING AND EGGS WERE AT 50 DEGREES WHEN THEY NEED TO BE AT 41. INSPECTORS ALSO MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO CLEAN UP THE DEAD ROACHES -- THEY ALSO FOUND A LIVE ROACH.
