The San Angelo/Tom Green County Health Department regularly monitors restaurants and food establishments for compliance with state food safety requirements.
Frequent inspections are essential in preventing the spread of foodborne illnesses through contamination and improper handling, storage and sanitation.
Scores for retail food establishments, food stores, mobile food units and school and daycare establishments inspected the week of June 1-7 are listed below.
The Standard-Times obtained the information through an open records request.
Disclaimer: On any given day, an establishment may have fewer or more violations than noted in its most recent inspection. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions at the establishment. A few more recent, follow-up inspections may not be included here.
Environmental Health Division inspectors fill out one page of these reports. Other Texas health divisions, such as in Taylor and Wichita counties, fill out multiple pages with details, providing more information the public can obtain about local establishments that handle food.
Any issues, comments or corrections are verbalized to local restaurants, according to Sandra Villarreal, the San Angelo-based health services director.
All food establishments are inspected in accordance with the Texas Food Establishment Rules as adopted by the city of San Angelo.
