Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Natural Blend appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2023. On Jul 8, 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.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.

Looking across the full record, “evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
