Inspection — 07/17/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below.73f moved to cooler maintaining 41f or below [Corrected]

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 Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

Ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food prepared on premises| and held under refrigeration| was not disposed of after 7 days.7/6 items corrected by discharging [Corrected]

Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 07/17/26

A current state food safety certificate is not held by the owner or a designated employee of the establishment.expired

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

A missing food safety certificate means the person in charge may not have been trained to identify and prevent food safety hazards. Research shows that restaurants with certified managers have fewer critical violations.

Critical Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

Raw animal foods with different cooking temperature requirements are not separated to prevent cross contamination during storage| preparation| or display.chicken over shrimp [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC Allergens

Cross contamination transfers dangerous bacteria from raw meat, dirty surfaces, or contaminated items to food that's ready to eat. Since that food won't be cooked again, any bacteria transferred will be consumed.

Critical Corrected ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers are a recipe for accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 07/17/26

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.
