Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on August 19, 2026. For example: Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on September 14, 2026. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 14, 2026. For example: Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on August 19, 2026. For example: Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

5 inspections

  1. Risk Management Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
      • 1. Standing liquid remained around the floor drain in the back room. No associated odour was noted at the time of inspection. Have the drain and associated plumbing assessed and correct any blockage, drainage or maintenance issue contributing to the accumulation of liquid. Maintain the area clean and dry.2. Ventilation outlets and surrounding ceiling surfaces had been cleaned; however, residual soil remained on some surfaces and corrosion remained visible on the ventilation outlets. Further clean the affected surfaces and maintain the ventilation outlets and surrounding ceiling in a clean condition. Repair or replace corroded components where deterioration prevents the surface from being maintained smooth, durable and readily cleanable.3. Water-stained ceiling tiles remained in place. Replace water-damaged ceiling tiles after the source of the moisture has been identified and corrected. Maintain ceiling surfaces in good repair and in a smooth, durable and readily cleanable condition.
    • 22. Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
      • Trays used to hold pizza-sauce containers inside the small refrigerator remained visibly dirty. In addition, the bottom interior surface of the pizza preparation refrigerator was visibly soiled. Thoroughly clean the trays and refrigerator interior and maintain the equipment in a clean and sanitary condition at a frequency sufficient to prevent the accumulation of food residue and soil.
  2. Monitoring Inspection

    4 infractions

    • 07. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
      • A clean, unused black garbage bag was being used to line a food counter, and pizza dough was placed directly on the bag. Garbage bags are not approved food-contact materials. Discontinue this practice and place pizza dough only on a properly cleaned and sanitized food-contact surface or on an approved food-grade tray or liner.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • Frozen chicken wings were being thawed at room temperature. Room-temperature thawing can allow the outer portions of the food to warm to temperatures that support rapid bacterial growth while the centre remains frozen. Thaw frozen chicken wings under refrigeration at 4°C or lower, or under cold running water.
    • 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
      • 1. Standing liquid and accumulated soil were observed around a floor drain in the back room, and a strong objectionable odour was present. The operator was unable to provide records showing when the grease trap was last serviced. Have the drainage and grease-trap system cleaned and serviced.2. Ventilation outlets were visibly dirty and had visible rust. Dark, greasy particulate accumulation was also visible on nearby walls, ceiling surfaces and light covers. Have the ventilation system assessed by a qualified professional to identify and correct any maintenance, airflow, moisture or condensation issues. Thoroughly clean the system and surrounding surfaces, and replace corroded components that cannot be restored to a smooth, durable and cleanable condition.3. Several ceiling tiles had dried water stains. Identify and correct the source of the moisture, and replace all water-damaged ceiling tiles after the source has been corrected. Maintain ceiling surfaces in good repair and in a condition that is smooth, durable and readily cleanable.
    • 22. Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
      • Trays used to hold pizza-sauce containers inside a small refrigerator were visibly dirty. Wash, rinse, sanitize and air dry the trays, and clean them at a frequency sufficient to prevent the accumulation of food residue.
