SAN ANGELO, Texas ( Concho Valley Homepage ) — With fall fully underway in the Concho Valley and holiday celebrations already stirring in San Angelo, plenty of people will stop by local restaurants. Here’s what the latest City of San Angelo food establishment inspection report has to say.
The scoring system
According to the City of San Angelo , all food establishments inspected by the City are inspected in accordance with the Texas Food Establishment Rules . The food establishment inspection report checks food establishments to see if they’ve violated any of 27 different violations, with each scoring the business “from three to five.” Below is the demerit system used by the City:
0-10 demerits = excellent
11-20 demerits = good
21-30 demerits = acceptable
31 or more = poor
It’s important to note that the City only checks for food safety items that are directly responsible for health problems rather than factors a person may traditionally associate with poor food safety, such as dirty floors and unclean walls.
“Inspection scores are focused on food safety items that directly cause problems. Many items that people may see, such as dirty dining area floors and walls, may appear bad, but they do not actually affect the safety of the food; demerits are not given for these types of items,” the City said.
Which businesses scored below 90 in August 2024 health inspections? It’s also important to note that food establishments are graded based on the processes that are carried out there. For example, convenience stores selling pre-packaged food may have noticeably different scores than those of fully-fledged restaurants.
Inspections also only showcase “a snapshot in time,” with any given food establishment possibly having more or fewer violations at the current moment than the score depicted in the inspection report or previous reports would indicate. The City Attorney disclaims that “reviewing the entire inspection history is crucial in ascertaining a more accurate picture of an establishment’s food safety and sanitation programs.”
Finally, food establishments in San Angelo do not receive health inspections simultaneously and, as such, may have not been recently inspected at the time of the report’s publication. Businesses that have earned the same score across multiple inspection reports may reflect an inspection conducted in a previous report rather than one that could have been conducted in the current time.
With clarifications out of the way, here are all the retail food establishments that scored below a 90 in the September 2024 inspection report .
