Pure Bowl & Go, a Mediterranean bowl shop at 149 Wilson Ave. in Bushwick, averages 4.8 out of 5 stars on Google, with more than 100 five-star reviews. City health inspectors shut it down on Wednesday, Oct. 28.
The inspection came to 102 violation points; an A takes fewer than 14. No other restaurant the city shut from Oct. 28 to Nov. 5 scored worse. What inspectors found inside included four violations the Health Department marks critical, the kind it says are most likely to contribute to foodborne illness, on the restaurant’s first inspection on record. It cannot reopen until it passes another.
In all, inspectors cited six sanitary violations. Three fall under rules on bathroom hygiene and plumbing: food workers washing their hands thoroughly after using the toilet and a working hand-washing sink in or next to the toilet room and near food preparation, both critical, and back-flow devices, drains and a sewage disposal system that work, which is not. Inspectors also cited no manager holding a food-safety certificate and no written procedure for refillable containers, both critical, and deficient dishwashing, which is not. None of the six involved pests.
