Inspection — 09/02/2026
Visit Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 09/02/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. Mixer [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.

Critical Repeat ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 09/02/26

The air gap between the water supply inlet and the flood rim of the plumbing fixture or equipment is not at least twice the diameter of the water supply inlet. [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Waterborne pathogens Chemical contaminants

Without proper air gaps, contaminated water can be sucked back into the clean water supply through backsiphonage. This means water used for food preparation, ice, or drinking could become contaminated.

Critical Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 09/02/26

Ready to eat| potentially hazardous food prepared on premises and held for more than 24 hours is not date marked. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days — and among high-risk groups (pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems) who develop serious illness, about 1 in 5 cases are fatal.
