SAN ANTONIO – A restaurant on the city’s north side was ordered to go through a re-inspection and given educational packets on proper food handling and sanitation after accumulating a long list of health code violations.
Bamboo Biryani Indian Cuisine, located in the 10200 block of Ironside Drive, was given a score of 73 late last month after an inspector found refrigeration units in need of being cleaned and sanitized and food not labeled properly.

The inspection reports, which establishments are required to post in public view, feature a number score at the top and bottom of the front page. A separate placard with the number score and a letter grade (example: 100/A) is also available upon request from the food establishment. Posting the placard is voluntary.

- 100-90 = A (Very Good to Acceptable)

- 79 or lower = C (Marginal to Poor)
Metro Health indicates that scores of 69 or lower are failing scores.
