The Alamodome is no stranger to fouls, and that is not a basketball reference. As the annual Fiesta celebration kicks off, health officials are stepping up their game to ensure food safety during the festivities. With thousands of attendees expected, Metro Health is conducting daily inspections of food vendors to maintain high standards of hygiene and safety.
Food safety inspectors are donning their gloves and checking grills to ensure that all food preparation meets health regulations. This proactive approach aims to prevent any potential health risks associated with the vast array of culinary delights available at the event. Vendors are required to adhere to strict guidelines, including proper food storage, cooking temperatures, and sanitation practices.
The inspections are vital in fostering a safe environment for festival-goers, allowing them to enjoy the vibrant flavors of Fiesta without worrying about foodborne illnesses. As the celebration continues, health officials remain vigilant, ensuring that safety is a top priority amidst the excitement and festivities.
