No description found

SAN ANTONIO – A tea house on the city’s Far Northwest Side was written up by health inspectors last month after different types of meat were again found being repackaged.

Ding Tea Taiwanese Tea House, in the 8000 block of W. Loop 1604 North, was repacking types of meat including chicken into clean plastic bags and then those were put in white plastic bags, city health department records show.

The process caused the food to no longer have any manufacturer information and was a repeat violation by the establishment, records show.

Ding Tea was given an overall score of 73 and was also ordered to clean the interior of all its freezers and refrigerators.
