Low Risk NYC Grade: Pending

The Protein Shop has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. Inspectors last stopped by on Sep 24, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The most recent inspection cleaned up several issues, finishing with two violations after nine on the prior visit.

The pattern that stands out is non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material, which has been cited two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Manhattan restaurant scores 77. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
