⚠️Approved Source • The Pate Gan has a label from Vina Foods - 70 Newmarket Square Boston MA 02118 (617)989-1444 but none of the other cooked foods in the freezer have labels. There are no cooking facilities at the establishment only a small oven for toasting bread. The meats look like they might be cooked at home or in an unlicensed estabishment and they have no invoices to show that these items were prepared in a licensed establishment. Provide invoices from a licensed establishment or these items cannot be served.critical

When was Baco Banh Mi @Super 88 Market last inspected?
Baco Banh Mi @Super 88 Market has 7 inspections on record going back to April 24, 2013.
Boston reports inspections as a pass or a fail, with no score and no letter. What separates a bad fail from a trivial one is the violation severity ladder: a single star is a minor issue, two stars is more serious, and three stars marks a critical foodborne-illness risk factor — temperature abuse, bad handwashing, cross-contamination. A restaurant can fail on paperwork alone, which is not the same as failing on food safety. Cooked splits Boston fails accordingly: a fail with a three-star violation reads cooked, a fail on minor items only reads mid.
