Big Star Sandwich Co

Inspection summary
Big Star Sandwich Co has been inspected 27 times by Fraser Health Authority since August 16, 2017. The most recent inspection, on October 6, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.
10 of 27 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pests, Cleaning and sanitizing and Food temperature control.
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.
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded 8 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on October 6, 2026. For example:
304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]
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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on April 18, 2024. For example:
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on May 1, 2023. For example:
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 6, 2026. For example:
401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on May 1, 2023. For example:
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

- 203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
- Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Operator informed us that they cool down cooked meats by leaving in the room temperature for 15 minutes to let the steam escape then transfer meats to the cooler. Large chunks of cooked meats covered in aluminum foil noted. The operator said the meats were taken out at 11:00 AM. Their temperature log stated that meats were taken out at 8:30 AM then cooled down, which contradicts the operator's claim. Pictures of their temperature log for July 11 and July 12 were taken. The same practice was noted in previous report (inspection report 238956).
- Corrective Action(s): This is not an adequate cooling practice. A cooling procedure was reviewed during the previous inspection. We previously agreed to use blast freezer to quickly cool down meats to ~20 deg. C then transfer the meats to the cooler. Putting hot meats into the cooler will stress the condenser which will increase the overall temperature of the cooler.
- Majority of cooling must be done in room temperature or blast freezer with smaller pieces as we discussed. Review of cooling procedure and proper record keeping with the staffs is required.
- Violation Score:
- 205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]

- Corrective Action(s): Following items were individually probed then discarded due to time and temperature abuse:
- -6 trays of roast beef
- -2 sealed jumbo black forest ham
- -2 sealed capocollo
- -2 opened jumbo black forest ham
- -1 opened capocollo
- -2 unopened boxes of sliced cheese
- -2 opened boxes of sliced cheese

A small amount of ice build up noted in the cooler by the air exhaust. Ice was removed by my request. Both attempts did not change the air temperature.
- Corrective Action(s): Cooler #1 requires professional service to maintain its temperature at or below 4 deg. C. Meanwhile, do not use cooler #1 to store any potentially hazardous foods. Do not use the cooler #1 until a temperature is verified by myself.

C in front sandwich cooler. 2 large trays of cut roast beef in prep cooler next to upright cooler in back @ 23.7 deg. C internally. All temperature measurements taken internally with probe thermometer. The meats listed above are taken out of the oven hot & cut into large chunks. They are then placed directly into the cooler as per staff on site. Chicken breast was cooked 6 hrs ago, roast beef was cooked last night.
- Corrective Action(s): the meats above were discarded. Potentially hazardous foods (e.g. beef, chicken) needs to cooled down from 60 deg. C - 20 deg. C in 2 hrs & 20 deg. C to 4 deg. C in 4 hrs. For meats, cut meat into smaller chunks and spread evenly across long/shallow pans. Do not place meat directly into cooler after cooking.
