Visit Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

Ready to eat| potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days — and among high-risk groups (pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems) who develop serious illness, about 1 in 5 cases are fatal.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single use articles. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical toxins (bleach, degreasers, pesticides)

Cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and degreasers stored near food or food-contact surfaces can spill, leak, or produce fumes that contaminate food. Chemical poisoning from contaminated food can cause severe burns, organ damage, and death.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

Ready to eat| potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days — and among high-risk groups (pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems) who develop serious illness, about 1 in 5 cases are fatal.

Critical Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

Employee did not wash hands and exposed portions of arms at appropriate time. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC

Unwashed hands are the #1 way restaurant workers spread Norovirus — which causes half of all food poisoning outbreaks. An infected worker can carry billions of virus particles; it only takes a few to make you sick.

Critical Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment| utensils or other items requiring protection were stored. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella (via saliva/hand contamination)

Employee beverages in food preparation areas create contamination risk through spills and through hand-to-mouth-to-food contact. An infected employee's drink can become a transmission vehicle.

Critical Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Listeria Salmonella E. coli

Cutting boards, slicers, prep tables, and utensils that aren't clean become vehicles for spreading bacteria and viruses between food items. A dirty slicer used for deli meat is a classic Listeria transmission pathway.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash| rinse and sanitize. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella Listeria E. coli

The 3-compartment sink process (wash, rinse, sanitize) is designed to eliminate bacteria from utensils and equipment. Skipping steps or doing them out of order means utensils may look clean but still carry infectious organisms.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/21/26

Ready to eat| potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days — and among high-risk groups (pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems) who develop serious illness, about 1 in 5 cases are fatal.
