1st Follow-Up — 04/14/2026 (5 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

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 Repeat Corrected 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not being cleaned between uses with raw fruits or vegetables and with potentially hazardous foods. [Corrected][Repeat]

Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 04/14/26

Imported crawfish and shrimp are not identified as specified by law. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Source traceability concern

Louisiana requires that crawfish and shrimp sold in restaurants come from approved, traceable sources. Imported product without proper documentation can't be verified as safe — it may have been processed under unknown safety standards.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

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

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Listeria Salmonella E. coli
