Résumé des inspections
MERIT KABAB a été inspecté 8 fois par NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) depuis le 30 avril 2024. La dernière inspection, le 20 juillet 2026, a relevé 5 infractions.
Aucune des 8 inspections au dossier n’a été exempte d’infractions. Au cours des 12 derniers mois, il y a eu 2 inspections et 10 infractions relevées. Les constats à risque élevé ici concernent : Protection des aliments contre la contamination, Contrôle de la température des aliments et Ravageurs.
Le nombre d'infractions par inspection est resté à peu près le même au fil du temps.
Ce que signifient ces constats
Chaque autorité sanitaire formule ses infractions différemment; nous les regroupons donc selon leur importance pour la salubrité des aliments. Les constats à risque élevé sont ceux que les inspecteurs jugent critiques, car ils peuvent directement rendre quelqu'un malade.
Protection des aliments contre la contaminationRisque élevé
Cela concerne l'entreposage, la préparation et la présentation des aliments : viande crue séparée des aliments prêts à manger, aliments couverts et rangés hors du sol, rien qui ne coule ou n'éclabousse dedans. La contamination croisée entre aliments crus et cuits est une voie directe pour la salmonelle et E. coli.
Relevé 6 fois dans 5 inspections distinctes, la plus récente le 20 juillet 2026. Par exemple :
Food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source of contamination during storage, preparation, transportation, display, service or from customer’s refillable, reusable container. Condiments not in single-service containers or dispensed directly by the vendor.
Contrôle de la température des alimentsRisque élevé
Les bactéries se multiplient le plus rapidement entre environ 4 °C et 60 °C. Les inspecteurs vérifient que les aliments froids restent froids, que les aliments chauds restent chauds, que les aliments cuits sont refroidis rapidement et que le personnel dispose de thermomètres précis. Les problèmes de température sont l'une des causes les plus fréquentes d'intoxication alimentaire; ils sont donc considérés comme critiques.
Relevé 6 fois dans 4 inspections distinctes, la plus récente le 20 juillet 2026. Par exemple :
Cold TCS food item held above 41 °F; smoked or processed fish held above 38 °F; intact raw eggs held above 45 °F; or reduced oxygen packaged (ROP) TCS foods held above required temperatures except during active necessary preparation.
RavageursRisque élevé
Signes de souris, de rats, de coquerelles ou de mouches, ou ouvertures et encombrement qui leur permettent d'entrer ou de se cacher. Les ravageurs transportent des bactéries et peuvent contaminer les aliments et les surfaces; toute activité est donc prise au sérieux et entraîne habituellement une visite de suivi.
Relevé 5 fois dans 3 inspections distinctes, la plus récente le 30 janvier 2026. Par exemple :
Filth flies or food/refuse/sewage associated with (FRSA) flies or other nuisance pests in establishment’s food and/or non-food areas. FRSA flies include house flies, blow flies, bottle flies, flesh flies, drain flies, Phorid flies and fruit flies.
Lavage des mains et hygiène du personnelRisque élevé
Les mains sont le principal moyen par lequel des microbes comme le norovirus passent des personnes aux aliments. Les inspecteurs vérifient que les lavabos sont accessibles et approvisionnés, que le personnel se lave les mains au besoin, porte un couvre-chef et que les employés malades sont tenus à l'écart des aliments.
Relevé 4 fois dans 4 inspections distinctes, la plus récente le 15 novembre 2024. Par exemple :
20-04: “Choking first aid” poster not posted. “Alcohol and Pregnancy” warning sign not posted. Resuscitation equipment: exhaled air resuscitation masks (adult & pediatric), latex gloves, sign not posted.
Produits chimiques et substances toxiquesRisque élevé
Les produits de nettoyage, désinfectants et pesticides doivent être étiquetés et rangés loin des aliments et des surfaces en contact avec les aliments. Les inspecteurs signalent les produits qui pourraient se retrouver dans les aliments ainsi que les traitements antiparasitaires appliqués sans supervision adéquate.
Relevé 3 fois dans 3 inspections distinctes, la plus récente le 12 septembre 2025. Par exemple :
Pesticide not properly labeled or used by unlicensed individual. Pesticide, other toxic chemical improperly used/stored. Unprotected, unlocked bait station used.
