Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 8, 2025. For example: 206 - Critical Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]

  • 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 May 8, 2025. For example: 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]

  • 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 August 11, 2023. For example: 301 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 August 12, 2026. For example: 104 - Repeat Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]

  • 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 May 8, 2025. For example: 311 - Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]

      • Observation: The temperature of the gravy in the hot holding unit was 17°C. The required hot holding temperature is 60°C or more. The gravy was being reheated in the hot holding unit. Bacteria multiply quicker at temperatures between 5 and 59°C.
      • Corrective Action: Reheat gravy on the stove/ microwave oven to a temperature of 60°C or more before placing the gravy in the hot holding unit and maintain the temperature at 60°C or more.

Temperature log showed that the refrigerator was not able maintain a temperature of 4°C since July 18. Refrigeration temperature for potentially hazardous foods must be kept at a minimum of 4°C to prevent the growth of harmful microbes that could lead to foodborne illness.
