Safe Bite Grade F Failing 03/23/2026
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 03/23/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Inspection — 03/23/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 03/23/26

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 03/23/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment, utensils or other items requiring protection were stored.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella (via saliva/hand contamination)

Employee beverages in food preparation areas create contamination risk through spills and through hand-to-mouth-to-food contact. An infected employee's drink can become a transmission vehicle.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 03/23/26

Raw animal foods with different cooking temperature requirements are not separated to prevent cross contamination during storage, preparation, or display.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC Allergens

Cross contamination transfers dangerous bacteria from raw meat, dirty surfaces, or contaminated items to food that's ready to eat. Since that food won't be cooked again, any bacteria transferred will be consumed.

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 03/23/26

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

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/23/26

The air gap between the water supply inlet and the flood rim of the plumbing fixture or equipment is not at least twice the diameter of the water supply inlet.

Safe Bite Analysis Waterborne pathogens Chemical contaminants

Without proper air gaps, contaminated water can be sucked back into the clean water supply through backsiphonage. This means water used for food preparation, ice, or drinking could become contaminated.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 03/23/26

Rodents are present in the establishment.

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 ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 03/23/26

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

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/23/26

Non-food contact surfaces are not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues.

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 03/23/26
