Share:

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 02/12/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

5

2nd Follow-Up
02/12/2026 (35 days later)

3

Critical

2

Non-Critical

2nd Follow-Up — 02/12/2026 (35 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 02/12/26

Quaternary ammonium solution concentration for warewashing is not 200 p.p.m. at 75ºF. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (if too low) Chemical residue (if too high)

Like chlorine, quaternary ammonium sanitizer must be at the right concentration. Too low and it won't kill pathogens on your dishes. Too high and chemical residues can contaminate food.

Critical Repeat ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 02/12/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

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.

Critical Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 02/12/26

Potable water was not from approved source. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/12/26

Mobile Unit did not report daily to commissary for cleaning and supplies. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/12/26

The wash solution in manual warewashing is maintained at less than 110°F. [Repeat]

1st Follow-Up — 01/13/2026 (5 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

Quaternary ammonium solution concentration for warewashing is not 200 p.p.m. at 75ºF. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (if too low) Chemical residue (if too high)

Like chlorine, quaternary ammonium sanitizer must be at the right concentration. Too low and it won't kill pathogens on your dishes. Too high and chemical residues can contaminate food.

Critical Repeat ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

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.

Critical Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

There is an inadequate number of toilet facilities within the establishment. [Repeat]

Critical Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 01/13/26

Potable water was not from approved source. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 01/13/26

Mobile Unit did not report daily to commissary for cleaning and supplies. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 01/13/26

The wash solution in manual warewashing is maintained at less than 110°F. [Repeat]

Inspection — 01/08/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 01/08/26

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

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 10 pts 01/08/26

An approved cooling method was not used to meet temperature requirements during cooling.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 01/08/26

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

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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 01/08/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash, rinse and sanitize.

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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 01/08/26

Quaternary ammonium solution concentration for warewashing is not 200 p.p.m. at 75ºF.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (if too low) Chemical residue (if too high)

Like chlorine, quaternary ammonium sanitizer must be at the right concentration. Too low and it won't kill pathogens on your dishes. Too high and chemical residues can contaminate food.

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 01/08/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service or single use articles. CHEMICAL STORAGE OVER POTABLE WATER TANK

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 ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts 01/08/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

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.
