Critical Repeat Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/09/26

Warewashing equipment used as food contact surfaces are not cleaned as required. [Corrected][Repeat]

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.

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

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.

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.
