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 March 17, 2026. For example: Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

  • 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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 22, 2025. For example: Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

    Recorded once on March 17, 2026. For example: Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

  • 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 once on September 25, 2024. For example: Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this food facility (Non-Critical)?

  2. Monitoring Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 11. Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
      • Yes (corrected during inspection) - there was no 'detergent feed' (detergent container was empty) at the glass-washer at the bar area. The operator is to ensure the containers of detergent and sanitizer (iodine sanitizer used at glass-washer) are monitored regularly and replaced when empty to ensure sufficient detergent and iodine sanitizer concentration is present during operating hours.
    • 22. Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
      • Yes (corrected during inspection) - the central food prep refrigeration unit in the main kitchen was requiring maintenance due to accumulation of frost/ice on the compressor motor unit affecting the general operation of the unit. The operator was to de-frost the unit forthwith and/or remove certain perishable food products from the refrigeration unit storage (and moved to another refrigeration unit or walk-in cooler until maintenance was completed).Note: the operator is to ensure regular de-frosting is scheduled, and if there is fast accumulation of frost/ice on the compressor motor unit, the operator is to contact a licensed technician due to the possibility of a small leak in the piping of the refrigerant that could be leading to the fast accumulation of frost/ice (which can damage the refrigeration unit as well).
  3. Monitoring Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 23. Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?
      • Yes (corrected during inspection) - note that there were some old rodent (mouse) droppings (20+) in corners along baseboard sections in the dry food storage room, adjacent liquid syrup soda pop storage, and in the adjacent equipment storage area (adjacent to the main kitchen dishwashing area). The operator was advised of this required cleaning / sanitizing and asked to ensure staff monitor and clean the 'hard-to-reach' areas under equipment and shelving more regularly and thoroughly, as often as necessary (with cleaning schedule once per week or bi-monthly, as required).
