Snacks Del Valle on 750 East Los Ebanos in Brownsville ties for the most demerits scored this week on Food 4 Thought.
               
The eatery is busted with 22 demerits on a health inspection report.
               
Kitchen cops find improper labeling of foods in containers that should indicate when they expire.

There’s also a discovery of month-old expired bread.

That’s a critical violation.

No soap or paper towels turns up, which is against proper sanitation rules.
               
The Food Patrol obtained numerous photos of the violations.
               
But it’s not all bad news in the kitchen.
               
Ranch House Burgers on 1015 South International Boulevard just outside Weslaco’s city limits and El Pato on 1626 North Raul Longoria in San Juan both score stickers from the Food Patrol.
