Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
03/25/2026 Routine
3 critical -95 points C → F
01/06/2026 Clean

Inspection — 03/25/2026
Safe Bite Grade: D
Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/25/26

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

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

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/25/26

Food is not stored in a covered container.

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/25/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue and other debris.
