Low Risk

Public records show 24 inspections at Feed stretching back to 2010. On Mar 20, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around two violations compared to roughly six violations earlier on.

Looking across the full record, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” is the recurring theme, flagged 14 times.

The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Feed on the better side of that line. The record reflects steady performance over time.
