Inspection — 04/14/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

Food for hot holding and service was held at a temperature of less than 135°F. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis C. perfringens B. cereus S. aureus

Food held below 135°F allows dangerous bacteria to multiply and produce toxins that can't be destroyed by reheating. Clostridium perfringens alone causes nearly 1 million illnesses per year in the US.

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

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 ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

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