Safe Bite Grade is independently calculated by Safe Bite Report based on public LDH inspection data. Not an official health department grade. Grade based on latest inspection cycle through 08/31/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.
Food consists in whole or in part of a filthy| putrid| or decomposed substance; produce
Decomposed or putrid food contains extremely high levels of bacteria and toxins. It is visibly unsafe and represents a critical food safety failure — it must never be served to customers.
Employee was using tobacco products in a food preparation| storage or service area evidence that employee was smoking cigarettes in food prep area.
A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment;
A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.
Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food| or is placed| stored or displayed above ready to eat food; bacon next to produce
Raw meat, poultry, and seafood carry dangerous bacteria. When they aren't separated from other foods, bacteria can transfer to items that will be eaten without further cooking.
Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch.
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.
Food package was not in good condition exposing the food to adulteration or potential contamination; food in plastic grocery bags
Packaged food is not labeled as specified by law.
Medicines or first-aid supplies are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single-use articles; Employees prescription medication was sitting on table in food prep area.
Medications and first-aid supplies stored near food can contaminate it with drugs, ointments, or chemicals. While accidental pharmaceutical contamination of food is rare, the consequences can be unpredictable and harmful.
Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility; sewer is notworking properly. All piped are not connected. Sewer MUST inspected and certified upon reopening.
Sewage is human and animal waste — it contains virtually every type of foodborne pathogen. Sewage contamination in a restaurant is an imminent health hazard that can simultaneously expose patrons to Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, and parasites.
There is a direct connection between the drainage system and a drain line originating from food handling equipment.
Faulty drainage systems can cause sewage to back up into food preparation areas or create cross-connections between waste lines and clean water. A drainage failure in the wrong place can turn into a sewage contamination event.
Rodents are present in the establishment; dropping were found
Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with urine, droppings, and hair. They carry Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli that can cause severe food poisoning.
