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 May 30, 2023. For example:
302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded once on August 9, 2022. For example:
104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]

1 infraction
- 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
- Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) One of the four QUATs sanitizer solution inside sanitation buckets was measured at a concentration of 100 ppm via test strip. Public health significance: QUATs-based solutions effectively sanitize surfaces against microorganisms at concentrations of 200 - 400 ppm. QUATs-based solutions with concentrations below 200 ppm may not adequately sanitize surfaces against pathogens and increase the risk of food contact surfaces to be contaminated with pathogens that can lead to foodborne illnesses.
- Corrective Action: Replace the old QUATs sanitizer solution inside sanitation bucket with new QUATs sanitizer solution and ensure the concentration of the new solution is between 200 ppm and 400 ppm. Operator must monitor the QUATs solutions every two hours or when visibly dirty/cloudy to ensure the concentrations are maintained at an adequate level.
