Bronx, NY — Lifestyle 1104 Juice Bar, located at 6 East 167 Street in the Bronx, received a score of 19 points during a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection conducted on February 27, 2026. The score places the establishment in the Grade B range, a decline from its most recent Grade A rating.

The inspection identified one critical violation and no non-critical violations. Inspection data was released by DOHMH on March 3, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

During the February 27 inspection, DOHMH inspectors cited Lifestyle 1104 Juice Bar for a single critical violation under code 04P: food containing a prohibited substance was held, kept, offered, prepared, processed, packaged, or served.

Under NYC health inspection protocols, a violation coded 04P relates to the presence of a substance in food that is not permitted under applicable food safety regulations. This can include unapproved additives, adulterants, contaminated ingredients, or substances that have not been approved for use in food products by regulatory authorities. The specific prohibited substance identified in this inspection was not detailed in the publicly available DOHMH data.

Despite being a single violation, the critical nature of the finding contributed to the establishment's 19-point score, which falls within the Grade B range of 14 to 27 points.

Food Safety Context

NYC Health Code Article 81 establishes the regulatory framework for food service establishments operating in New York City. Under these regulations, all food offered for sale must be safe, unadulterated, and free from prohibited substances. The FDA Food Code similarly requires that food sold to consumers contain only approved ingredients and additives that meet federal safety standards.

For juice bars and smoothie shops, ingredient sourcing and product formulation are particularly relevant areas of regulatory scrutiny. Establishments that prepare fresh beverages are expected to ensure that all components — including supplements, flavor additives, and base ingredients — comply with applicable food safety requirements.

A critical violation designation indicates a condition that could directly contribute to a foodborne illness or food safety hazard if not corrected.

DOHMH records show the following inspection history for Lifestyle 1104 Juice Bar:

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City assigns letter grades to food service establishments based on inspection scores:

  • Grade A: 0 to 13 points
  • Grade B: 14 to 27 points
  • Grade C: 28 or more points

Lower scores indicate fewer violations and better compliance with health regulations. Establishments that receive a Grade B or C may request a re-inspection or opt to post the grade or a "Grade Pending" sign while awaiting an adjudication hearing before the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.
