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 source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

  Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

  Recorded 6 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on December 10, 2019. For example: The places, vehicles, equipment, materials and utensils used in preparation for packaging, storage, transport, labelling and service of products, as well as other sanitary facilities and premises, shall be clean.

• 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 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on June 6, 2019. For example: The place or vehicle shall be free of contaminants, pollutants, any species of animals including insects and rodents or their excreta.

• 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 once on June 20, 2018. For example: People who are in contact with the products or with the equipment and equipment themselves in contact with the products must wash their hands and forearms with hot water and liquid or powdered soap dispensed by a distributor, after using tobacco, having gone to the toilets, handling raw food, before starting work and whenever there is a risk of contamination for the products. In a room, area or vehicle used for the preparation of the products, the hands must be dried by individual towels which must be discarded after use, and in addition, no one can use tobacco.

• 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 February 6, 2019. For example: Any product packed for sale must bear, in indelible, very legible and apparent characters, the container, packaging or envelope containing it the inscriptions necessary to reveal the nature, condition, composition, use, exact quantity, origin and any particularity of the product; the name and address of the manufacturer, preparer, conditioner, packager, supplier or distributor; the place of manufacture, preparation or packaging of the product. The list of components shall be given in order of decreasing importance. The weight indication must take into account the normal loss of the product after packaging and be expressed as net weight.
