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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 2, 2026. For example: 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]

3 inspections

  1. Routine Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
      • Observation: No sanitizer was detected in the glassware dishwasher in the bar area despite multiple tests using both the facility's and EHO's test strips. The Head Chef stated that the sanitizer was changed from chlorine to iodine the previous evening. Although an iodine-based sanitizer appears to be in use, sanitizer dispensing could not be confirmed during the inspection, which may indicate an issue with the pickup tube or dispensing system. (Public Health Significance): Inadequate sanitization of glassware may result in the survival and transmission of pathogenic microorganisms through improperly cleaned and sanitized utensils and food contact surfaces.
      • Corrective Action: Head Chef ensured that the issue will be addressed immediately and that photo documentation demonstrating an acceptable sanitizer concentration will be provided to the EHO for verification. The operator must ensure that the glassware dishwasher is dispensing sanitizer at the required concentration (final rinse iodine concentration of 12.5 to 25 ppm) and that appropriate test strips are available and routinely used to verify sanitizer strength.

    • 307 - Repeat Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not of suitable design/material [s. 16; s. 19]

Kitchen manager mentioned that absolutely nothing is stored on the ground and there is a professional cleaning done every January of the whole freezer including the floor. Public Health significance) Materials like raw wood will absorb juices and harbour and allow disease causing bacteria to grow. Proper materials and finishing is required to ensure adequate cleaning and sanitizing.
