Visit Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 08/10/26

Written procedures were not maintained in a food establishment using time only| as a public health control.

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

When food spends too long in the temperature 'danger zone' (41°F-135°F), bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels in hours. Some bacteria produce toxins during this time that survive reheating — cooking it again does not eliminate the risk.

Critical 10 pts 08/10/26

Employee did not dispense ice for consumption with tongs| scoops or other ice self dispensing utensils. *ice scoop needed

Critical ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts 08/10/26

Employee did not wash hands and exposed portions of arms at appropriate time.

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC

Unwashed hands are the #1 way restaurant workers spread Norovirus — which causes half of all food poisoning outbreaks. An infected worker can carry billions of virus particles; it only takes a few to make you sick.

Critical 10 pts 08/10/26

Food was not prepared with the least possible manual contact| with suitable utensils| and on surfaces that have been cleaned| rinsed| and sanitized prior to use to prevent cross-contamination.

Critical 10 pts 08/10/26

Equipment/utensil with which food is prepared| held or served| was not cleaned| rinsed and sanitized prior to use.

Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 08/10/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *knife rack, ice machine, slicer, sauce bottles, milkshake mixers, ice cream lids, panini press, potato slicer

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 10 pts 08/10/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not being cleaned each time there is a change from working with raw foods to Ready To Eat foods. *cutting board

Critical 10 pts 08/10/26

Food-contact surfaces are not being sanitized before use. *no sanitizer bucket

Critical ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts 08/10/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled.

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers create a serious risk of accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 08/10/26

Flies are present in the establishment. *fruit flies

Safe Bite Analysis Shigella Salmonella E. coli

Flies land on garbage and feces then land on food, transferring bacteria like Shigella and Salmonella. However, the direct risk from occasional fly presence is lower than other pest issues.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 08/10/26

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

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 08/10/26

Plumbing is not maintained. *small sink by reach in cooler has no water

Non-Critical 0 pts 08/10/26

Mop sink is not accessible and cannot be used to clean wet floor cleaning tools and for the disposal of mop water or similar waste.

Non-Critical 0 pts 08/10/26

Non-Critical 0 pts 08/10/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean. *hoods [Repeat]

Non-Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 08/10/26

A current state food safety certificate is not conspicuously posted.

Safe Bite Analysis Management control failure (indirect)

Inspection — 02/10/2026
Visit Grade: F (Historical)
Critical ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts 02/10/26

Food consists in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance. *mayo bottle has black flecks

Safe Bite Analysis High bacterial load Spoilage toxins Mold toxins

Decomposed or putrid food contains extremely high levels of bacteria and toxins. It is visibly unsafe and represents a critical food safety failure — it must never be served to customers.

Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/10/26

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) 02/10/26

Employee did not wash hands and exposed portions of arms at appropriate time. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC

Unwashed hands are the #1 way restaurant workers spread Norovirus — which causes half of all food poisoning outbreaks. An infected worker can carry billions of virus particles; it only takes a few to make you sick.

Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 02/10/26

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

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.

Critical ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts 02/10/26

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 02/10/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. *knife rack, meat slicer, potato slicer, waffle maker, milkshake mixer rods, interior drink machines

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 ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts 02/10/26

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled.

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical poisoning (bleach, degreaser, sanitizer)

Unlabeled chemical containers create a serious risk of accidental poisoning. When a bottle of concentrated bleach or degreaser isn't labeled, it can easily be mistaken for water, cooking oil, or another ingredient.

Flies are present in the establishment. *fruit flies by juice machine [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Shigella Salmonella E. coli

Flies land on garbage and feces then land on food, transferring bacteria like Shigella and Salmonella. However, the direct risk from occasional fly presence is lower than other pest issues.
