Safe Bite Grade A Good 02/23/2026
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 02/23/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: A
02/23/2026 1st Follow-Up
0 critical 0 points F → A
02/20/2026 Routine
6 critical -190 points A → F
02/18/2025 Routine
0 critical 0 points A
1st Follow-Up — 02/23/2026
Safe Bite Grade: A
Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/23/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue and other debris. [Repeat]

Inspection — 02/20/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/20/26

Damage or inferiority of food has been concealed. [Corrected]

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/20/26

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

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 Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/20/26

Using time only as a public health control, food was not served or discarded within 4 hours from when the food was removed from temperature control. [Corrected]

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 02/20/26

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

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 02/20/26

Packaged food is not labeled as specified by law.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/20/26

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 — which kills about 1 in 5 people it seriously infects — grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days.

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/20/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue and other debris.

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/20/26

Food is not stored six (6) inches off the floor.

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/20/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue and other debris.

Inspection — 02/18/2025
