1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pests, 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.
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded once on April 24, 2026. For example:
305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
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 November 29, 2023. For example:
206 - Critical Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
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 November 29, 2023. For example:
302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 on April 24, 2026. For example:
104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]
About this data
These results come from Northern 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.
3 inspections
- Routine Inspection
3 infractions
- 104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]
- Observation: Permit was not posted in an area not visible to the public. Public Health Significance: Permit not being posted in a conspicuous location denies the public from making informed decisions about the facility and its ability to maintain required standards of sanitation and food safety.
- Corrective Action: Operator to ensure permit is posted in a place visible to the public.
- 212 - Operator has not provided acceptable written food handling procedures [s. 23]
- Observation: No written food safety plan and sanitation plan on-site. Employees provided conflicting information regarding the time‑tracking method used to safeguard chopped vegetables held outside of temperature control. Public Health Significance: The absence of such documents on-site creates a gap in knowledge when employees need to make reference to procedural steps on how to control food safety hazards and maintain sanitary conditons of all equipment in the food premises.
- Corrective Action: The operator is required to educate employees on proper food safety practices. The operator must also ensure that a written food safety plan and sanitation plan are readily available on site and accessible to employees.
- 305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
- Observation: Gap opening observed at the back door. Public Health Significance: Gap opening could serve as a point of entry for pests. Pests are vector of pathogens and diseases and contaminate/cross-contaminate food and food contact surfaces, which could lead to foodborne illness if such food is consumed.
- Corrective Action: Operator to install new weather strip to seal gap opening.
- 104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]
- Complaint Inspection
0 infractions
- Initial Inspection
2 infractions
- 206 - Critical Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
- Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Cooked bacon bits in the hot holding unit was measured at 45.5°C. All potentially hazardous foods must be stored at below 4°C or above 60°C to prevent microbial growth and possibly food borne illness.
- Corrective Action: Operator increased the temperature of the hot holding units to a temperature of 60°C.
- 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
- Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Two quat sanitizer wiping cloth buckets had a concentration of 100ppm. Quat sanitizer must reach a minimum concentration of 200 ppm to destroy micro-organism on food contact surfaces. This reduces risk of cross-contamination and foodborne illnesses.
- Corrective Action: Operator replaced all quat sanitizer in buckets and checked the concentration with test strips to ensure they achieved 200 ppm.
- 206 - Critical Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
