Inspection summary
Burger Shed has been inspected 2 times by Interior Health Authority since March 15, 2024. The most recent inspection, on June 1, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.
None of the 2 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 4 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Food temperature control and Cleaning and sanitizing.
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.
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2026. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
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 once on June 1, 2026. For example:
4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?
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 15, 2024. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
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 once on June 1, 2026. For example:
FMV1.1 Does the base of operations meet the requirements of the Mobile Food Premises Guidelines?
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 June 1, 2026. For example:
1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
About this data
These results come from Interior Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.
2 inspections
- Monitoring
4 infractions
- FMV1.1 Does the base of operations meet the requirements of the Mobile Food Premises Guidelines?
- Observation(s): Non-conforming pre-existing condition: Wastewater not properly disposed of according to regulations. • Dispose of wastewater via an approved method.
- F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
- Observation(s): At the time of inspection, there were no chlorine test strips on site. • Acquire chlorine test strips and ensure they are always available in the facility to test bleach sanitizer solution concentrations. Consider keeping a record or log of sanitizer concentrations once per day on record sheet supplied by EHO. Use a probe thermometer to check food temperatures in the facility.
- F2.4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?
- Observation(s): During inspection, pre-cut French fries were noticed on the counter at room temperature. Thawing at room temperature can allow the growth of pathogens and the production of toxins in foods that can then cause foodborne illness once ingested. • Ensure all frozen food is cooked immediately after being removed from the freezer, or stored in the fridge for thawing.
- F2.4B Potentially hazardous food must be thawed using appropriate equipment and/or approved methods.
- F2.5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
- Observation(s): During inspection, Hood ventilation filters observed to have accumulated grease. All equipment must be kept in good working order to ensure the sanitary handling of food. • Remove hood ventilation filters and clean thoroughly before returning them to the hood ventilation system. Wiping cloth observed in the sink - not stored in sanitizer solution. Pathogenic bacteria can grow and multiply on the cloth, which can then contaminate food contact surfaces. • Ensure wiping cloths are stored submerged in a sanitizer (chlorine bleach) solution at all times. Replace sanitizer solution every 2-4 hours, as it will weaken in strength over time. Use test strips to test concentrations frequently. Spray bottle not clearly labelled. Chemicals, cleaners and other agents must be properly labelled to prevent food contamination. • Ensure all cleaning products are clearly labelled to prevent accidental contamination of food. During inspection, hamburger patties were observed to be stored loosely in the freezer. This leaves them susceptible to contamination and freezer burn while being stored. • Acquire a bin or container with a lid made of food-grade material to store the hamburger patties while they are in the freezer so that they are protected from contamination and ice buildup. Ensure freezer is routinely de-frosted to remove accumulated ice.
- F2.5A All equipment, utensils and food contact surfaces used on the premises must be kept in good working order to ensure the sanitary handling of food.
- F2.5C Wiping cloths must be maintained and stored in a sanitary manner.
- F2.5D Chemicals, cleaners and other agents must be properly labelled and stored separately from food to prevent contamination.
- F2.5G Foods must be stored in a manner to prevent contamination.
- FMV1.1 Does the base of operations meet the requirements of the Mobile Food Premises Guidelines?
- Monitoring
2 infractions
- F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
- Observation(s): F2.3: Bleach sanitizer solution not available during the time of inspection. Corrective Action: Ensure bleach sanitizer solution is available and mixed at all times at a concentration of 200ppm. Please confirm that all equipment and utensils are being washed, rinsed, and sanitized in a bleach solution.
- F2.3C Clean in place warewashing procedures must provide sufficient washing and sanitizing action to remove contamination.
- F2.3D Sanitizer solution must be available and kept at the correct levels for adequate sanitizing action.
- F2.5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
- Observation(s): F2.5B: Cleaning is required in the following areas: • at the front entrance of the kitchen • hard to reach corners (floors, behind equipment, underneath fridges) • organize and sanitize counter tops and shelving units Corrective Action: Clean the areas listed above. F2.5F: Small dog was found in the kitchen at the beginning of the inspection. Corrective Action: Ensure no dogs or animals are on the premises at any time.
- F2.5B The premises must be properly constructed and maintained in good, clean and sanitary condition.

Fantastic, huge burgers made with local beef. Great fries, great poutine, huge portions. The lovely ladies running the place were nice to chat with and helpful. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet Patches. 10/10 recommend!

Super yummy hotdog specials and the fries are the best fries I've ever had! I had the teriyaki pineapple hotdog and my partner has the mac&cheese hotdog. The portions are large and the price is affordable! The buns were so incredibly fresh. Don't skip this place, the three ladies working there are masters of their craft. Well done.

Hidden gem of a burger joint that once found will never be forgotten. As a gluten-free eater, if GF buns are not available - a lettuce wrap will do. The proprietress took special care when crafting our most excellent burgers. Let me tell you, she did fantastic! Add to a tasty burger, well cooked fries, and you have a meal you'll surely want to enjoy again. Go! Eat! Enjoy! And don't get hung up on the exterior.

I’ve always had a good experience here, the menu is very unique and large. When the young guy is there the burgers are cooked perfectly! Sometimes the bun becomes too soggy though. The fries are delicious!
- Shawn Janke
Great burgers and the portions are good for the price . I had the chili cheese fries and they were good as well. Fries could use some seasoning but over all definitely better than a chain restaurant for the food!

Had a great burger for lunch. The 'Cowboy Burger' was absolutely delicious, fresh, tasty and filling. Fries were crispy and I got a generous amount. Haven't eaten here in a while, but it was certainly worthwhile stopping in after a bike …
