Inspection — 03/30/2026
Safe Bite Grade: C
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/30/26

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. [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 — the damage is done even if you cook it again.

Critical Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/30/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. [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.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

Plumbing is not maintained. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/30/26

Floor is not maintained in good repair. [Repeat]

Moist cloths used for wiping spills on food contact surfaces are not stored in approved chemical sanitizer between uses. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 03/30/26

Food scoop is constructed without a handle. [Corrected]

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/30/26

Non-food contact surfaces are not constructed of a corrosion-resistant, non -absorbent, smooth material

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 03/30/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue and other debris. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 03/30/26

Clean equipment/utensils are not stored at least six (6) inches off the floor. [Corrected]

3rd Follow-Up — 10/28/2025 (14 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: B — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/28/25

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.

1st Follow-Up — 10/15/2025 (1 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only, as a public health control. [Repeat]

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 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

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

Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

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 ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

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.

Critical Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

Warewashing equipment used as food contact surfaces are not cleaned as required. [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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

A backflow prevention device is not installed on a threaded faucet where a hose is attached. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Waterborne pathogens Chemical contaminants Copper/metal leaching

Failed backflow prevention means contaminated water from drains, chemical lines, or equipment can flow backward into the clean water supply. FDA has documented cases where this caused copper poisoning from beverage systems.

Critical Repeat ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

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 — which kills about 1 in 5 people it seriously infects — grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days.

Inspection — 10/14/2025
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/14/25

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. [Repeat]

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 10/14/25

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 — the damage is done even if you cook it again.

Critical 10 pts 10/14/25

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

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 10/14/25

Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 10/14/25

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 ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 10/14/25

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food, or is placed, stored or displayed above ready to eat food.

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 10/14/25

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch.

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 10/14/25

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 10/14/25

Hot water is not provided to all fixtures, equipment, and nonfood equipment as required.

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 Repeat ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/14/25

A backflow prevention device is not installed on a threaded faucet where a hose is attached. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Waterborne pathogens Chemical contaminants Copper/metal leaching

Failed backflow prevention means contaminated water from drains, chemical lines, or equipment can flow backward into the clean water supply. FDA has documented cases where this caused copper poisoning from beverage systems.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 10/14/25

A hand-washing lavatory is not located for convenient use by all employees in the food preparation and/or the utensil washing areas.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC

If there's no hand-washing station, NO ONE on staff can wash their hands properly. This is worse than a single employee skipping — it's a system failure that affects every food handler for every shift.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 10/14/25

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
