Safe Bite Grade D Bad 10/16/2026
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 10/16/2026. Previous inspection history affects the grade. How we calculate.

Inspection — 10/16/2026
Visit Grade: F — Weighs on Current
Critical Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/16/26

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 Corrected ~1.3× illness risk = 30 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/16/26

Employee was drinking in a food preparation or other area where food equipment| utensils or other items requiring protection were stored. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella (via saliva/hand contamination)

Employee beverages in food preparation areas create contamination risk through spills and through hand-to-mouth-to-food contact. An infected employee's drink can become a transmission vehicle.

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/16/26

The 3 compartment sink is not used in proper sequence to wash| rinse and sanitize. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella Listeria E. coli

The 3-compartment sink process (wash, rinse, sanitize) is designed to eliminate bacteria from utensils and equipment. Skipping steps or doing them out of order means utensils may look clean but still carry infectious organisms.

Critical Corrected 10 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/16/26

Containers of poisonous or toxic materials are not labeled with a legible manufacturer's label. [Corrected]

Critical Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/16/26

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.

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/16/26

Walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not clean.

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/16/26

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

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/16/26

A valid permit to operate is not posted in a conspicuous location.

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 10/16/26

Cloths used for wiping spills are used for other purposes. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 10/16/26

Bulk containers are not properly labeled. [Corrected]

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 10/16/26

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

Non-Critical 0 pts 10/16/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust| dirt| food residue and other debris.

Non-Critical Corrected 0 pts 10/16/26

Employees' personal care items are stored where food equipment| utensils| linens| single service items or single use items may be contaminated. [Corrected]

1st Follow-Up — 06/23/2026 (8 days later)
Visit Grade: D — Weighs on Current
Critical ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts 06/23/26

Food stored for cold-holding and service was not held at a temperature of 41 °F or below.

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.

Inspection — 06/15/2026
Passed

No violations found — all issues resolved.

1st Follow-Up — 02/26/2026 (20 days later)
Passed

No violations found — all issues resolved.

Inspection — 02/06/2026
Visit Grade: D (Historical)
Critical Corrected ~8.0× illness risk = 90 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/06/26

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 20 pts × 1.5 (repeat) × 0.5 (corrected) 02/06/26

Employee was eating in a food preparation or other area where food, utensils or other items requiring protection were stored. [Corrected][Repeat]

Critical Corrected ~2.2× illness risk = 50 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/06/26

Food contact surfaces and utensils are not clean to sight and touch. [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 Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 02/06/26

Quaternary ammonium solution concentration for warewashing is not 200 p.p.m. at 75ºF. [Corrected]

Safe Bite Analysis Norovirus Salmonella E. coli (if too low) Chemical residue (if too high)

Like chlorine, quaternary ammonium sanitizer must be at the right concentration. Too low and it won't kill pathogens on your dishes. Too high and chemical residues can contaminate food.

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/06/26

Mops are not hung and/or stored to facilitate air drying.

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/06/26

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

Non-Critical Repeat 0 pts 02/06/26

Non-food contact surfaces of equipment have an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue and other debris. [Repeat]

Non-Critical 0 pts 02/06/26

Single use/single service articles are not stored at least six (6) inches off the floor

Inspection — 10/01/2025
Visit Grade: D (Historical)
Critical Corrected ~6.0× illness risk = 80 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/01/25

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 Corrected ~1.7× illness risk = 40 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/01/25

Working containers of chemicals are not labeled. [Corrected]

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 Corrected ~3.0× illness risk = 60 pts × 0.5 (corrected) 10/01/25

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.
