Safe Bite Grade D Bad 04/14/2026
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 04/14/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: D
04/14/2026 Routine
2 critical -185 points F
01/13/2026 Routine
4 critical -340 points F
Inspection — 04/14/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 04/14/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria Salmonella B. cereus C. perfringens

Food held above 41°F enters the 'danger zone' where bacteria multiply rapidly. Listeria can grow even under refrigeration — above 41°F, growth accelerates dangerously. This is one of the most common causes of foodborne outbreaks.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 04/14/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. **ICE MACHINE**

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.

Inspection — 01/13/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 01/13/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below.

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria Salmonella B. cereus C. perfringens

Food held above 41°F enters the 'danger zone' where bacteria multiply rapidly. Listeria can grow even under refrigeration — above 41°F, growth accelerates dangerously. This is one of the most common causes of foodborne outbreaks.

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 01/13/26

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

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 01/13/26

The air gap between the water supply inlet and the flood rim of the plumbing fixture or equipment is not at least twice the diameter of the water supply inlet.

Safe Bite Analysis Waterborne pathogens Chemical contaminants

Without proper air gaps, contaminated water can be sucked back into the clean water supply through backsiphonage. This means water used for food preparation, ice, or drinking could become contaminated.

Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 01/13/26

A hand-washing lavatory is not located for convenient use by all employees in the food preparation and/or the utensil washing areas.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC

If there's no hand-washing station, NO ONE on staff can wash their hands properly. This is worse than a single employee skipping — it's a system failure that affects every food handler for every shift.

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

Plumbing is not maintained.

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

Openings are not protected against the entry of rodents or insects.

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

Floors are not clean.

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean.

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not in good repair.

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

Non-food contact equipment is not maintained in good repair. **Cooler*

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

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

Non-Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 01/13/26

Non-food contact surfaces are not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues.

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 0 pts 01/13/26

Soap and/or paper towels are not provided for use at the hand wash lavatory.

Non-Critical 0 pts 01/13/26

Toilet does not have an open-front toilet seat.
