Inspection — 04/02/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/02/26

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

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 Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/02/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only, as a public health 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 Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/02/26

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

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 Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/02/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. **CAN OPENER** [Corrected]

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 04/02/26

Plumbing is not maintained.

Non-Critical 0 pts 04/02/26

Floors are not clean.

Non-Critical 0 pts 04/02/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean.

Non-Critical 0 pts 04/02/26

Plans were not submitted to the state health officer for approval prior to construction, renovation, or opening under new ownership of a food establishment.

Inspection — 11/25/2025
Safe Bite Grade: C — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/25/25

Cutting board, food preparation or other food contact surface was not washed, rinsed and sanitized following contact with raw animal food or raw vegetables and before contact with ready to eat foods. [Corrected]

Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/25/25

Raw unprepared vegetables are not separated from ready to eat potentially hazardous foods. [Corrected]

Critical Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/25/25

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *soda machine, coffee maker, condiment containers [Corrected]

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 11/25/25

Flies are present in the establishment. *fruit flies

Safe Bite Analysis Shigella Salmonella E. coli

Flies land on garbage and feces then land on food, transferring bacteria like Shigella and Salmonella. However, the direct risk from occasional fly presence is lower than other pest issues.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 11/25/25

Floors are not clean. *drain, floor [Repeat]

Non-Critical 0 pts 11/25/25

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue and other debris. *shelf, microwave, warmer bottom(cos)
