Food for Thought: 7/18/19

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Lubbock health inspectors checked-out the cleanliness of more than two dozen Hub City kitchens this week; they’re making sure your family is safe when you dine out.

Taqueria Autlan at 2722 50th had 12 violations.

Cooked beans did not cool properly. This can cause bacteria growth.
Pico de gallo was above the safe cold temperature of 41 degrees.
Dirty dishes were stove over food items.
Dirty knives and measuring cups were with clean items. The inside of the ice machine was dirty.
The hand sink was blocked, and there were no paper towels.
There was no hand wash sign in the restrooms.
Food containers were cracked.
Bulk food containers were on the floor of the walk-in cooler.
There gnats and flies in a bin of dirty linens.
Lights did not have covers.
Personal items were on top of food items.
There were no food handler cards available.

The report shows the violations were corrected while the inspector was there.

Now to the good news.
