Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 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][Repeat]

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 Repeat Corrected 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

Food package was not in good condition exposing the food to adulteration or potential contamination. Dented cans. [Corrected][Repeat]

Critical Repeat ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 04/14/26

Rodents are present in the establishment. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli (pathogenic) Hantavirus

Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with urine, droppings, and hair. They carry Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli that can cause severe food poisoning.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

Inspection — 03/31/2026
Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/31/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment, utensils or other items requiring protection were stored. Educated. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella (via saliva/hand contamination)

Employee beverages in food preparation areas create contamination risk through spills and through hand-to-mouth-to-food contact. An infected employee's drink can become a transmission vehicle.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 03/31/26

Raw animal food is not separated from ready to eat food, or is placed, stored or displayed above ready to eat food.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella Campylobacter STEC

Raw meat, poultry, and seafood carry dangerous bacteria. When they aren't separated from other foods, bacteria can transfer to items that will be eaten without further cooking.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/31/26

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.

Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/31/26

Food package was not in good condition exposing the food to adulteration or potential contamination. Dented can. [Corrected]

Critical ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts 03/31/26

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 03/31/26

Rodents are present in the establishment.

Safe Bite Analysis Salmonella E. coli (pathogenic) Hantavirus
