Inspection — 03/26/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical 10 pts 03/26/26

Food prepared, packed, or held under conditions where it may have been contaminated. *bread in bread box

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 03/26/26

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F.

Safe Bite Analysis C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus

Food held below 135°F allows dangerous bacteria to multiply and produce toxins that can't be destroyed by reheating. Clostridium perfringens alone causes nearly 1 million illnesses per year in the US.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 03/26/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below.

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria Salmonella B. cereus C. perfringens

Food held above 41°F enters the 'danger zone' where bacteria multiply rapidly. Listeria can grow even under refrigeration — above 41°F, growth accelerates dangerously. This is one of the most common causes of foodborne outbreaks.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 03/26/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only, as a public health control.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus Listeria

When food spends too long in the temperature 'danger zone' (41°F-135°F), bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels in hours. Some bacteria produce toxins during this time that survive reheating — the damage is done even if you cook it again.

Critical 10 pts 03/26/26

Non-food items are being stored with human food and not properly separated or excluded to prevent cross-contamination. *container stored directly on food

Critical 10 pts 03/26/26

Equipment/utensil with which food is prepared, held or served, was not cleaned, rinsed and sanitized prior to use.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 03/26/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food, or is placed, stored or displayed above ready to eat food.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC

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.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 03/26/26

Equipment and/or utensils are not constructed of approved materials. *need NSF grade food containers

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical leaching Pathogen harborage

Equipment made from unapproved materials may be impossible to properly clean (harboring bacteria in cracks and pores) or may leach chemicals into food during cooking or storage.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/26/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *fryers, fryer baskets, meat slicer

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/26/26

Warewashing equipment used as food contact surfaces are not cleaned as required. *3 compartment sink

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 10 pts 03/26/26

Food-contact surfaces are not being sanitized before use. *no sanitizer bucket available

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 03/26/26

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

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria — which kills about 1 in 5 people it seriously infects — grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days.
