1st Follow-Up — 03/27/2026 (3 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

Employee did not wash hands and exposed portions of arms at appropriate time. *Violation Codes Handwashing [formerly paragraph 23:032] A. Employees shall thoroughly wash their hands and exposed portions of their arms with soap and warm water before starting work, before applying gloves, during work as often as necessary to keep them clean, and after smoking, using tobacco, eating, drinking, coughing, sneezing, handling raw food, using the toilet. [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 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

Equipment/utensil with which food is prepared, held or served, was not cleaned, rinsed and sanitized prior to use. [Repeat]

Critical Repeat ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

Equipment and/or utensils are not constructed of approved materials. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical leaching Pathogen harborage

Equipment made from unapproved materials may be impossible to properly clean (harboring bacteria in cracks and pores) or may leach chemicals into food during cooking or storage.

Critical Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

Warewashing equipment used as food contact surfaces are not cleaned as required. *dishwasher, dish racks [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.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 03/27/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service or single use articles. [Corrected][Repeat]

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 Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

Unapproved chemicals are used in the food establishment. [Repeat]

Critical Repeat Corrected ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 03/27/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. [Corrected][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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

A backflow prevention device is not installed on a threaded faucet where a hose is attached. *hose [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Waterborne pathogens Chemical contaminants Copper/metal leaching

Failed backflow prevention means contaminated water from drains, chemical lines, or equipment can flow backward into the clean water supply. FDA has documented cases where this caused copper poisoning from beverage systems.

Critical Repeat ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

Flies are present in the establishment. [Repeat]

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.

Critical Repeat ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/27/26

Ready to eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Repeat]

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.

Inspection — 03/24/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts 03/24/26

Food consists in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance.

Safe Bite Analysis High bacterial load Spoilage toxins Mold toxins

Decomposed or putrid food contains extremely high levels of bacteria and toxins. It is visibly unsafe and should never be anywhere near a kitchen — let alone served to customers.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 03/24/26

Using time only as a public health control, food was not marked or otherwise identified with the time within which it would be cooked , served , or discarded.

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 ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 03/24/26

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 10 pts 03/24/26

Equipment/utensil with which food is prepared, held or served, was not cleaned, rinsed and sanitized prior to use.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 03/24/26

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical leaching Pathogen harborage

Equipment made from unapproved materials may be impossible to properly clean (harboring bacteria in cracks and pores) or may leach chemicals into food during cooking or storage.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/24/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. (Knives and cutting boards)

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 03/24/26

Equipment/utensils which have contact with potentially hazardous food are not cleaned every 4 hours of use. (Knives used for sushi)

Critical 10 pts 03/24/26

Food-contact surfaces are not being sanitized before use.

Critical ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts 03/24/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled.

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers are a recipe for accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 03/24/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service or single use articles.

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical toxins (bleach, degreasers, pesticides)
