Inspection — 05/08/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/08/26

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/08/26

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

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 Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/08/26

Medicines or first-aid supplies are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single-use articles. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Pharmaceutical contamination

Medications and first-aid supplies stored near food can contaminate it with drugs, ointments, or chemicals. While accidental pharmaceutical contamination of food is rare, the consequences can be unpredictable and harmful.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/08/26

There is a direct connection between the drainage system and a drain line originating from food handling equipment. Extension as per RF Memo 2019-003 until change of ownership, operations, renovations, and/or complaint/issue [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Salmonella E. coli

Faulty drainage systems can cause sewage to back up into food preparation areas or create cross-connections between waste lines and clean water. A drainage failure in the wrong place can turn into a sewage contamination event.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/08/26

Safe Bite Grade: D
Critical Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/29/25

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. Extension as per RF Memo 2019-003 until change of ownership, operations, renovations, and/or complaint/issue [Corrected]

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.

Flies are present in the establishment.

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.
