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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 21, 2026. For example: Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 21, 2026. For example: Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?

  • 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 July 21, 2026. For example: Has appropriate notification been given for the special event?

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • A bleach spray sanitizer was present; however, testing during the inspection found the concentration to be excessively strong, bleaching the inspector's chlorine test strip. The operator prepared a new sanitizer solution during the inspection, which was adjusted to an appropriate concentration of approximately 100 ppm chlorine. This item was corrected during the inspection. Test strips were not available on site, and a sample supply was provided by the inspector to allow routine verification of sanitizer concentrations. Food-contact surface sanitizing was not directly observed.
    • 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
      • Handwashing facilities were not satisfactory at the time of inspection. A two-compartment sink was being used for both handwashing and dishwashing purposes.Although the unit was equipped with a water system intended to provide running water, the battery powering the water pump was not charged and hot and cold running water were unavailable during the inspection. The operator advised that the battery was being recharged and indicated that confirmation would be provided once the system was functioning; however, this confirmation was not received. The importance of maintaining functional handwashing facilities at all times during operation was discussed with the operator.Staff handwashing could not be directly observed during the inspection. Employees were observed using gloves while handling food. While glove use can reduce the risk of contamination, gloves do not replace proper handwashing. Staff were reminded that hands must be washed before putting on gloves, after removing gloves, and whenever contamination may have occurred.
    • 23. Has appropriate notification been given for the special event?
      • The required Special Event Food Vendor Notification had not been completed prior to commencing operations.
