With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Jan 22, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The trend has been moving in the right direction: two violations last time, one this time.

When inspectors have written things up, non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
