Safe Bite Grade F Failing 05/11/2026
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 05/11/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Inspection — 05/11/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/11/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single use articles. [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 Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/11/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. Crab salad 58F, implemented Time as Public Health Control. [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 Repeat Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 05/11/26

Using time only as a public health control| food was not served or discarded within 4 hours from when the food was removed from temperature control. [Corrected][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 ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 05/11/26

Employee did not wash hands and exposed portions of arms at appropriate time.

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 05/11/26

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

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 Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 05/11/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food| or is placed| stored or displayed above ready to eat food. [Corrected][Repeat]

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 ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/11/26

Equipment and/or utensils are not constructed of approved materials. Fishing line used to cut boiled eggs. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical leaching Pathogen harborage

Equipment made from unapproved materials may be impossible to properly clean (harboring bacteria in cracks and pores) or may leach chemicals into food during cooking or storage.

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 05/11/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single use articles.

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 Corrected ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 05/11/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. Mop water discharged outside. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

Sewage is human and animal waste — it contains virtually every type of foodborne pathogen. Sewage contamination in a restaurant is an imminent health hazard that can simultaneously expose patrons to Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, and parasites.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 05/11/26

Flies are present in the establishment.

Safe Bite Analysis Shigella Salmonella E. coli

Flies land on garbage and feces then land on food, transferring bacteria like Shigella and Salmonella. However, the direct risk from occasional fly presence is lower than other pest issues.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 05/11/26

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.

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/12/25

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F. [Corrected]

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) 11/12/25

Critical Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/12/25

Raw animal foods with different cooking temperature requirements are not separated to prevent cross contamination during storage, preparation, or display. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC Allergens

Cross contamination transfers dangerous bacteria from raw meat, dirty surfaces, or contaminated items to food that's ready to eat. Since that food won't be cooked again, any bacteria transferred will be consumed.

Critical Corrected ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 11/12/25

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Corrected]

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