Safe Bite Grade F Failing 05/08/2026
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 05/08/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
05/08/2026 Routine
3 critical -150 points C → F
10/29/2025 2nd Follow-Up
0 critical 0 points D → C
10/22/2025 1st Follow-Up
1 critical -37 points F → D
10/15/2025 Routine
7 critical -569 points A → F
05/08/2025 Routine
1 critical -10 points A
Inspection — 05/08/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/08/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food| or is placed| stored or displayed above ready to eat food. *beef stored above vegetables [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 Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 05/08/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *knife rack [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 ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts 05/08/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled.

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers are a recipe for accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean. *walk in cooler fan covers [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/08/26

A sanitizer test kit is not provided to accurately measure the concentration in mg/L or parts per million of sanitizing solution provided.

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/08/26

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/08/26

Clean equipment/utensils are not stored as to eliminate exposure to splash| dust| or contamination

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/08/26

Clean equipment/utensils are not stored covered or inverted.

Non-Critical 0 pts 05/08/26

The hand wash lavatory is used for purpose other than hand washing.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 05/08/26

17 - Public building is not clean and/or in good repair. *room 307 hole in wall, chalkboard peeling/chipping paint [Repeat]

2nd Follow-Up — 10/29/2025 (14 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: A — Weighs on Current
Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 10/29/25

37 - Openings are not protected against the entry of rodents or insects in accordance with Part V of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code. [Repeat]

1st Follow-Up — 10/22/2025 (7 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: B
Critical Repeat Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/22/25

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

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 10/22/25

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 10/22/25

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not in good repair. [Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 10/22/25

Food is not stored in a clean, covered container. [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 10/22/25

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

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/22/25

37 - Openings are not protected against the entry of rodents or insects in accordance with Part V of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code.

Inspection — 10/15/2025
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

Food meets the definition of adulterated. **DENTED CANS** [Repeat]

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 Repeat Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/15/25

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. [Corrected][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 Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. **ICE MACHINE** [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 Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/15/25

Quaternary ammonium solution concentration for warewashing is not 200 p.p.m. at 75ºF. [Corrected][Repeat]

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

Like chlorine, quaternary ammonium sanitizer must be at the right concentration. Too low and it won't kill pathogens on your dishes. Too high and chemical residues can contaminate food.

Critical Repeat ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

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

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 Repeat ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 10/15/25

Roaches are present in the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli Allergens

Cockroaches crawl through drains, sewage, and waste then walk on food and prep surfaces, mechanically transferring bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 10/15/25

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

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.
