What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on November 12, 2025. For example:
Adequate lighting provided in all areas & ventilation system present and operated in manner not permitting contamination, buildup of excess heat, or a health hazard. [s. 10 & 11]
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.
Recorded once on June 15, 2023. For example:
Manual dishwashing done correctly (wash, rinse, sanitize) with correct number of sinks of sufficient size. [s. 18-19]
