Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 06/11/26

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

Inspection — 05/27/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts 05/27/26

Food consists in whole or in part of a filthy| putrid| or decomposed substance. (Onions)

Safe Bite Analysis High bacterial load Spoilage toxins Mold toxins

Decomposed or putrid food contains extremely high levels of bacteria and toxins. It is visibly unsafe and should never be anywhere near a kitchen — let alone served to customers.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 05/27/26

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

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 ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 05/27/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only| as a public health control.

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 10 pts 05/27/26

Ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food prepared on premises| and held under refrigeration| was not disposed of after 7 days.

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 05/27/26
