Inspection — 09/02/2026
Visit Grade: B — Weighs on Current
Critical Repeat ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/02/26

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

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.

Inspection — 02/06/2026
Visit Grade: C — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/06/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F 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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/06/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. [INTERIOR OF ICE MACHINE] [Corrected]

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.
