Critical Repeat ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 08/17/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment| utensils or other items requiring protection were stored. [Repeat]

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 Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 08/17/26

Food was not prepared with the least possible manual contact| with suitable utensils| and on surfaces that have been cleaned| rinsed| and sanitized prior to use to prevent cross-contamination. [Repeat]

Critical Repeat 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 08/17/26

Materials used to construct food contact equipment allow the migration of deleterious substances. GROCERY BAGS USED TO STORE MEAT IN FREEZER [Repeat]

Critical Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 08/17/26

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. [Repeat]

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 Repeat ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 08/17/26

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.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 08/17/26

Openings are not protected against the entry of rodents or insects. BACK DOOR IS NOT SELF-CLOSING [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 08/17/26

Inspection — 08/13/2026
Visit Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/13/26

Food consists in whole or in part of a filthy| putrid| or decomposed substance. 5lb BAG OF SHREDDED CHEESE HAD MOLD SPOTS, EXPIRED. CHEESE WAS THROWN INTO THE GARBAGE AND DENATURED WITH BLEACH [Corrected]

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 represents a critical food safety failure — it must never be served to customers.

Critical Repeat ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 08/13/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment| utensils or other items requiring protection were stored. [Repeat]

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 10 pts 08/13/26

Food was not prepared with the least possible manual contact| with suitable utensils| and on surfaces that have been cleaned| rinsed| and sanitized prior to use to prevent cross-contamination.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/13/26

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 10 pts 08/13/26

Materials used to construct food contact equipment allow the migration of deleterious substances. GROCERY BAGS USED TO FREEZE MEATS

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 08/13/26

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

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 ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts 08/13/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. THE GREASE TRAP OUTSIDE HAS OVERFLOWED

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

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.

Inspection — 10/22/2025
Visit Grade: F (Historical)
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/22/25

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. [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 — cooking it again does not eliminate the risk.

Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/22/25

Ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food prepared on premises, and held under refrigeration, was not disposed of after 7 days. [Corrected]

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/22/25

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) 10/22/25

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.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/22/25

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