The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2026. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2026. For example:
Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 24, 2026. For example:
Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this food facility (Critical)?

- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- Meat products were observed thawing in buckets filled with water inside the prep sink. Thawing meat in stagnant water can promote bacterial growth and increase the risk of cross‑contamination. Approved thawing methods, such as under cold, continuously running water, in a refrigerator, using microwave for immediate cooking or as part of the cooking process, are required to maintain food safety.**Corrected during inspection with meat placed under cold running water for safe thawing procedure.
- 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
- Red sanitizer buckets were placed in the handwashing sink at the time of inspection. Ensure handwashing sinks are accessible at all times during operation.**Corrected during the inspection by removing the buckets from the sink.

Ensure that all hot foods are being rapidly cooled from 60C to 20C within 2 hours and from 20C to 4C or lower within an additional 4 hours. Staff indicated that the ice wand was broken, and a new ice wand was on order. Until a new ice wand is obtained, rapidly cool hot foods by:- Using an ice bath- Prepare smaller portions of the beans or prepare in smaller trays to allow for the beans to cool quicker.
