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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 20, 2026. For example:
Premises and/or work area maintained in a sanitary manner, appropriately located, well-lit and well-ventilated
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.
Recorded 10 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 20, 2026. For example:
All work and/or contact surfaces cleaned and then disinfected
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 20, 2026. For example:
Approved disinfectants are prepared and used appropriately, and records maintained
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 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on May 22, 2026. For example:
All items that cannot be cleaned, disinfected or sterilized must be single-use disposable
