Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: D
10/15/2026 Routine
1 critical -30 points D → D

1 critical -30 points ? → B
Inspection — 10/15/2026
Visit Grade: B — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/26

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.

Inspection — 07/15/2026
Visit Grade: D — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/15/26

Food meets the definition of adulterated. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Multiple pathogens Chemical toxins Foreign matter

Adulterated food is unsafe by definition — it may contain pathogens, toxins, foreign objects, or unapproved chemicals. Serving adulterated food is the most direct path to making someone seriously ill.

Critical Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/15/26

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

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 ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 07/15/26

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.

Inspection — 03/13/2026
Visit Grade: B (Historical)
Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/13/26

Chlorine sanitizer concentration for warewashing is not between 50-100 p.p.m. at 75ºF. >200 ppm [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (if too low) Chemical injury (if too high)

Sanitizer that's too weak won't kill bacteria and viruses. Sanitizer that's too strong can leave chemical residues on dishes and utensils that cause illness. Either way, the safety system has failed.

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/13/26

There are unnecessary items on the premises.

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/13/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean.
