4th Follow-Up — 03/18/2026 (21 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: B
Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 03/18/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/18/26

Floors are not clean. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 03/18/26

Bulk containers are not properly labeled. [Corrected][Repeat]

1st Follow-Up — 02/25/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 02/25/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. SMOKED SAUSAGE-70*F, RICE-70*F, TOMATOES-47*F BURGERS-46*F

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria Salmonella B. cereus C. perfringens

Food held above 41°F enters the 'danger zone' where bacteria multiply rapidly. Listeria can grow even under refrigeration — above 41°F, growth accelerates dangerously. This is one of the most common causes of foodborne outbreaks.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 02/25/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only, as a public health control. NO TIME/TEMP LOGS FOR RICE AND SAUSAGE

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 Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 02/25/26

Employee did not wash hands and exposed portions of arms at appropriate time. 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 ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 02/25/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment.

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 02/25/26

A sufficient quantity of hot water is not provided to meet the peak demands in the food establishment. THREE COMPARTMENT SINK 88*F

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (indirect — via inadequate cleaning)

Without hot water, staff can't effectively wash their hands or clean equipment. Cold water doesn't dissolve grease or activate soap as effectively, reducing the ability to remove pathogens from hands and surfaces.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 02/25/26

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.

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

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes
