Three Dallas restaurants failed health inspections for serious violations, including insects and pests floating in food surfaces.
The health inspections were conducted between Oct. 27 and Nov. 9, according to city data compiled by the Star-Telegram.
Dallas restaurants are scored on a 100-point system. A score range of 100-90 is considered to be very good and 89-80 is considered good. The next inspection for both ranges is conducted in the regular six-month window.
Restaurants scoring between 79 to 70 pass but require re-inspection within 30 days. Scores between 69-60 are failing and require a follow-up inspection within 10 days or close temporarily.
Food establishments scoring under 60 require closure and inspection before re-opening.
7-Eleven at 1295 Commerce St. had a number of critical violations including insects and pests present in the business, cross contamination, black residue on an ice shoot, lack of hot water supply, broken drain pipes and blocked hand sinks, soiled dry towels under a sink and dirty surfaces with accumulation of soil residues.
