Safe Bite Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical ~1.15× illness risk = 20 pts 03/13/26

Imported crawfish and shrimp are not identified as specified by law.

Safe Bite Analysis Source traceability concern

Louisiana requires that crawfish and shrimp sold in restaurants come from approved, traceable sources. Imported product without proper documentation can't be verified as safe — it may have been processed under unknown safety standards.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 03/13/26

Chemicals are stored with/above food, equipment, utensils, linens, single-service or single use articles. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Chemical toxins (bleach, degreasers, pesticides)

Cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and degreasers stored near food or food-contact surfaces can spill, leak, or produce fumes that contaminate food. Chemical poisoning from contaminated food can cause severe burns, organ damage, and death.

Critical ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts 03/13/26

Flies are present in the establishment.

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 ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts 03/13/26

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

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/13/26

Openings are not protected against the entry of rodents or insects.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 03/13/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not in good repair. [Repeat]

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/13/26

Soap and/or paper towels are not provided for use at the hand wash lavatory.

Non-Critical 0 pts 03/13/26

Food is not stored six (6) inches off the floor.

There is a direct connection between the drainage system and a drain line originating from food handling equipment. [Corrected][Repeat]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Hepatitis A Salmonella E. coli

Faulty drainage systems can cause sewage to back up into food preparation areas or create cross-connections between waste lines and clean water. A drainage failure in the wrong place can turn into a sewage contamination event.
