Inspection summary
AWAC has been inspected once by Northern Health Authority, on February 16, 2023. The most recent inspection, on February 16, 2023, recorded 3 infractions.
No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control.
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 February 16, 2023. For example:
203 - Critical Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
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 2 times on February 16, 2023. For example:
306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

1 inspection
- Routine Inspection
3 infractions
- 203 - Critical Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
- Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Food staff stated that certain foods are cooled overnight or for a few hours on the countertop (soups, turkey, etc). Food that has been sitting at room temperature for an excessive period of time may result in growth of harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. No food was observed to be temperature abused at time of inspection.
- Corrective Action: Ensure that foods are portioned so that they can be quickly cooled and put in the fridge in a timely manner. Foods must be cooled from 60 C to 20 C within 2 hours, followed by 20 C to 4 C within 4 hours. Foods that are not cooled quickly enough should be discarded and not served to the public.
- 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
- Observation: One shelf for bowls had significant build up of dry food debris. Handles and knobs for stove top have buildup of grease and residue.
- Corrective Action: Clean the indicated areas immediately. Ensure that cleaning is done on a regular basis for all items involved in food contact and food preparation. Cross-contamination between dirty areas and food may occur due to unsanitary conditions.
- 311 - Repeat Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]
- Observation: Covers for fluorescent tube lighting missing.
- Corrective Action: Install covers for lighting inside of the kitchen. If the light fixture is broken, physical contamination of food and food equipment may result.
- 203 - Critical Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
