San Antonio candy apples could be crap

People on street corners around San Antonio sell candy apples, but now, the health department is, according to KENS 5 Eyewitness News, putting out the word that those apples could make you sick.

Metro Health Sanitation Manager Stephen Barscewski said,

“Hepatitis A, noro virus that have a fecal, oral route to them, so they’re practicing poor hygienic practices when they’re producing those apples. That’s always a threat. … Candy apples are being made in houses and garages around the city that certainly aren’t regulated by the city or the state."

The health department says most of the vendors are not licensed, and there’s no control over how or where the candy apples are made.
