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 03/25/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
03/25/2026 Routine
3 critical -70 points D → F
12/29/2025 2nd Follow-Up
0 critical 0 points F → D
12/01/2025 1st Follow-Up
5 critical -465 points F
11/25/2025 Routine
6 critical -370 points A → F

0 critical 0 points A
Inspection — 03/25/2026
Safe Bite Grade: C
Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/25/26

Damage or inferiority of food has been concealed. EXPIRED: KELLOGG’S CORN POPS [Corrected]

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/25/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash, rinse and sanitize. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella Listeria E. coli

The 3-compartment sink process (wash, rinse, sanitize) is designed to eliminate bacteria from utensils and equipment. Skipping steps or doing them out of order means utensils may look clean but still carry infectious organisms.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/25/26

Ready to eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Corrected]

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.

1st Follow-Up — 12/01/2025 (6 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 12/01/25

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. [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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 12/01/25

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. Ice machine and drink fountain nozzles [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) 12/01/25

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash, rinse and sanitize. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella Listeria E. coli

The 3-compartment sink process (wash, rinse, sanitize) is designed to eliminate bacteria from utensils and equipment. Skipping steps or doing them out of order means utensils may look clean but still carry infectious organisms.

Critical Repeat ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 12/01/25

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Repeat]

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.

Critical Repeat ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 12/01/25
