Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/14/26

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) 09/14/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *scoop in flour bucket [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 ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/14/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Repeat]

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

Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

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 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

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

Critical Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *interior flour pan, interior food/flour buckets, food scoops, utensils on the wall next to the fryer [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 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not being cleaned between uses with raw fruits or vegetables and with potentially hazardous foods. [Repeat]

Critical Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

Food-contact surfaces are not being sanitized before use. *sani bucket needed [Repeat]

Critical Repeat ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

An approved sanitizer is not being used during manual or mechanical warewashing. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella Listeria E. coli

Cleaning removes visible dirt, but only sanitizing kills the invisible bacteria and viruses that cause food poisoning. Without sanitizer, surfaces that look clean can still spread Norovirus, Salmonella, and Listeria.

Critical Repeat ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Repeat]

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

Unlabeled chemical containers create a serious risk of 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 Repeat ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/04/26

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 grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days — and among high-risk groups (pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems) who develop serious illness, about 1 in 5 cases are fatal.

Visit Grade: F (Historical)
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 08/28/26

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

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.

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