Inspection — 07/17/2026
Safe Bite Grade: D
Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food| or is placed| stored or displayed above ready to eat food. 1. Shrimp [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 Repeat Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. 1. Can opener [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 Corrected 0 pts 07/17/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust| dirt| food residue and other debris. 1. Personal fans 2. Reach in coolers [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 07/17/26

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

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 07/17/26

In use food utensils are not stored with the handles above the top of the food. [Corrected]

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. 1. Microwave [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.

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/18/26

Ready to eat, potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. 1. Beef [Corrected]
