Safe Bite Grade F Failing 04/14/2026
Share:

Safe Bite Grade is independently calculated by Safe Bite Report based on public LDH inspection data. Not an official health department grade. Grade based on latest inspection cycle through 04/14/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
04/14/2026 Routine
2 critical -97 points D → F
10/30/2025 Routine
2 critical -90 points D
Inspection — 04/14/2026
Safe Bite Grade: D
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 Repeat Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 04/14/26

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 — which kills about 1 in 5 people it seriously infects — grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 04/14/26

Floors are not clean. Floor sink [Repeat]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 04/14/26

An accurate product temperature-measuring device is not provided. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 04/14/26

In use food utensils are stored in water that is not maintained at a minimum of 135°F. [Corrected]

Inspection — 10/30/2025
Safe Bite Grade: D — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/30/25

Equipment/utensils which have contact with potentially hazardous food are not cleaned every 4 hours of use. [Corrected]

Critical Corrected ~4.0× illness risk = 70 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/30/25

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

Safe Bite Analysis Listeria monocytogenes

Without proper date marking, ready-to-eat food can be kept too long under refrigeration. Listeria — which kills about 1 in 5 people it seriously infects — grows slowly even in the fridge and reaches dangerous levels after 7 days.

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/30/25

Floors are not clean.

Non-Critical ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 10/30/25

Non-food contact surfaces are not cleaned at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues.

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.
