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 10/14/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/14/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only| as a public health control. [Repeat]

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 — cooking it again does not eliminate the risk.

Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/14/26

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

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 Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/14/26

Rodent bait is not contained in a covered| tamper-resistant bait station. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Pesticide contamination Rodenticide toxins

Loose rodent bait can contaminate food and food-contact surfaces with pesticide. If bait isn't in a tamper-resistant station, it can be scattered by rodents, kicked by staff, or fall into food preparation areas.

Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/14/26

Rodents are present in the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli (pathogenic) Hantavirus

Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with urine, droppings, and hair. They carry Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli that can cause severe food poisoning.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 09/30/26

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.
