LAS PALMAS RESTAURANT HAD THE MOST DEMERITS THIS WEEK -- 38 ON A ROUTINE INSPECTION.
THE REPORT NOTES IMPROPER COOLING OF COOKED FOOD. A LACK OF AND IMPROPER HAND WASHING -- EMPLOYEES MUST CHANGE GLOVES NOT WASH THEIR HANDS WITH GLOVES ON. AND, CROSS-CONTAMINATION CONCERNS WHEN EMPLOYEES WERE HANDLING FOOD.
DURING A RE-INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER, INSPECTORS WENT OVER THE HAND WASHING POLICY. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT THE FARM-RAISED EGGS AND HOMEMADE TAMALES HAD TO BE THROWN OUT.
UNCLE MUTTS BARBEQUE WAS GIVEN 32 DEMERITS.
IMPROPER FOOD COOLING WAS NOTED HERE, AS WELL AS COLD FOOD NOT KEPT AT THE PROPER TEMPERATURE -- THOSE FOODS NEEDED TO BE TOSSED. EMPLOYEES WERE NOT SEEN WASHING THEIR HANDS BETWEEN GLOVE CHANGES OR TASKS.
DURING A RE-INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER, INSPECTORS WENT OVER THE POLICIES FOR HAND WASHING AND BARE HAND CONTACT WITH FOOD AND PROPER DOCUMENTATION OF WHEN THE MEAT IS TAKEN OFF THE PIT.
ELEVEN DEMERITS WERE GIVEN TO TAQUERIA EL RODEO NUMBER TWO ON SAM HOUSTON.
THE RESTAURANT WAS CITED FOR EMPLOYEES NOT WASHING THEIR HANDS WHEN RE-ENTERING THE KITCHEN, CROSS CONTAMINATION CONCERNS WITH THE CHIP BASKETS... AND DOCUMENTATION OF HOW LONG FOOD SAT ON THE COUNTER.
INSPECTORS WERE AT I-HOP FOR A RE-INSPECTION -- AND THERE WERE ISSUES WITH EMPLOYEES NOT WASHING THEIR HANDS WHEN GOING BACK TO THE WORK AREA, HANDLING FOOD WITH BARE HANDS AND LIQUID THAT HAD SPILLED INTO THE SUGAR AND DRIED. THE MANAGER REQUESTED ANOTHER INSPECTION FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
UPON THAT RE-INSPECTION, THE ISSUES WERE CORRECTED.
THE ONLY LOCATION IN VICTORIA TO RECEIVE NO DEMERITS WAS THE CHAPARRAL MARKET ON BLYTH ROAD, THOUGH INSPECTORS DID NOT THAT DISHES NEED TO BE WASHED IN THE DISH SINK, AS OPPOSED TO THE HAND SINK.
