From March 5 through March 11, Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District inspectors found an employee placing a tortilla on their apron, employees without food handler permits and other health violations at restaurants.
Out of more than 40 businesses inspected, eight scored below a 95, and 21 received perfect scores. During the seven days, Taqueria Mi Casita on Ayers Street scored the lowest with a 79.
The health district describes a food establishment as a place that sells or serves food to the public. These establishments, which can include bars, hotels, apartments, schools and food trucks, must get an annual permit and be inspected by the health district.
Inspections are based on a demerit system in accordance with the Texas Department of State Health Services. The inspection report checks for 47 different violations.
