Safe Bite Grade F Failing 05/06/2026
Share:

Safe Bite Grade is independently calculated by Safe Bite Report based on public LDH inspection data. Not an official health department grade. Grade based on latest inspection cycle through 05/06/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F

5 critical -260 points D → F
01/05/2026 Clean
0 points F → D

Inspection — 05/06/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 05/06/26

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

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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 05/06/26

Chlorine sanitizer concentration for warewashing is not between 50-100 p.p.m. at 75ºF.--Dish machine

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.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/06/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single use articles.--Floor cleaner stored near dry seasonings [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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 05/06/26

Hot water is not provided to all fixtures| equipment| and nonfood equipment as required.--All handwashing sinks and prep sinks does not have running hot water

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 ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 05/06/26

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

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.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/06/26

Plumbing is not maintained.--1) There is a leak, on the faucet, at the 3-compartment sink [Repeat]

1st Follow-Up — 12/04/2025 (14 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 12/04/25

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F.---Ground beef temperature read 124F [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus

Food held below 135°F allows dangerous bacteria to multiply and produce toxins that can't be destroyed by reheating. Clostridium perfringens alone causes nearly 1 million illnesses per year in the US.

Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 12/04/25

Rodents are present in the establishment.---Rodent droppings found in a corner, behind the door in the dry storage room [Repeat]

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.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 12/04/25

Plumbing is not maintained.---1) There is a leak on the vacuum breakers located at the dish washing sink 2) There is a major leak on the handle (HOT TEMPERATURE) at the hand sink near the cooking area in the kitchen [Repeat]

Inspection — 11/20/2025
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 11/20/25

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F.--1) Ground beef temperature read 126F, 2) Enchilada sauce temperature read 94F

Safe Bite Analysis C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus

Food held below 135°F allows dangerous bacteria to multiply and produce toxins that can't be destroyed by reheating. Clostridium perfringens alone causes nearly 1 million illnesses per year in the US.

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/20/25

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below.--Chocolate and caramel toppings were not held at a temperature [Corrected]

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 Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/20/25

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food, or is placed, stored or displayed above ready to eat food.--Peppers stored with beef [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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/20/25

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch.---1) Microwave 2) commercial 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 ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 11/20/25

Chlorine sanitizer concentration for warewashing is not between 50-100 p.p.m. at 75ºF.

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.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 11/20/25

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.---Ice machine

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 ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 11/20/25

Rodents are present in the establishment.---Rodent droppings found behind the door in the dry storage room [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli (pathogenic) Hantavirus
