7 of 9 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on December 21, 2016. For example: 3 - Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on December 21, 2016. For example: 5 - Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on November 26, 2019. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

      • Observation(s): 1) Sanitation plan notes: (Care of the fustis) add 100ppm bleach to warm soapy water. Items must be washed with warm soap water, rinsed and then sanitized with 100ppm bleach solution. Do not add the bleach to the soapy water as it a) can lessen the effects of the bleach (neutralize the sanitizer), and or b) depending upon the type of soap/detergent, cause noxious fumes when mixed with bleach. This was discussed with staff, and staff have been advised to wash first, then rinse and sanitize. Please update the wording on the sanitation plan to note this change. Please scan and email a copy of updated plan to EHO by January 13th.

    I would never use any other oils or vinegars—the white balsamic Raspberry vinegar is superb and the traditional is excellent, the garlic olive oil is a must purchase —you cannot go wrong with any of their products—all of your meals, dips and appetizers will be elevated to a new level!!!!

    A huge variety of oils and vinegars in flavors I've never even dreamed of, and even more when you combine different oils and vinegars together. You can taste whatever you please before you buy. The employees are knowledgeable and passionate about their products. I'm going back today for the black mission fig balsamic.
