The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District's scoring of food establishments is based on a 100-point demerit system.

 

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.
