Visit Grade: D — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 07/06/26

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

Critical Repeat Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 07/06/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food| equipment| utensils| linens| single-service or single use articles. [Corrected][Repeat]

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.
