Grade History
Current Safe Bite Grade: F
04/16/2026 1st Follow-Up
2 critical -300 points F
04/13/2026 Routine
2 critical -220 points C → F
04/17/2025 Routine
0 critical -50 points C
1st Follow-Up — 04/16/2026 (3 days later)
Safe Bite Grade: F
Critical Repeat ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 04/16/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. sewer system inoperable [Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Shigella Salmonella STEC Parasites

Sewage is human and animal waste — it contains virtually every type of foodborne pathogen. Sewage contamination in a restaurant is an imminent health hazard that can simultaneously expose patrons to Norovirus, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, and parasites.

Critical Repeat ~12.0× illness risk = 100 pts × 1.5 (repeat) 04/16/26

Sewage is not disposed of through an approved sewerage system/facility. sewer system inoperable [Repeat]

A current state food safety certificate is not conspicuously posted.

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.

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 04/13/26

Mops are not hung and/or stored to facilitate air drying. [Corrected][Repeat]

Non-Critical Repeat Corrected 0 pts 04/13/26
