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 once on May 13, 2025. For example:
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
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 once on May 13, 2025. For example:
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

- Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observation: Vegetable dicer still had dried food debris stuck in its crevices. The dicer was stored on the clean equipment rack. Not properly cleaning food equipment after use can lead to the harbourage of pathogenic microorganisms. When reused microbial contamination can occur causing food borne illness in patrons.
- Corrective Action: Operator moved the dicer to the 2-compartment sink in preparation for cleaning and sanitizing. Ensure food equipment is taken apart for proper cleaning and sanitizing.
- Corrective Action(s):
- Violation Score:
- 401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
- Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observation: food prep hand sink was obstructed by a garbage bin. Obstructions to hand sinks can lead to employees not washing their hands at adequate frequencies, which increases the risk of contamination during food handling. This can make people sick.
- Corrective Actions: Garbage bin was relocated in a manner where it doesn't block the sink. Ensure the sink is accessible at all times and equipped with liquid soap, paper towels and hot/cold running water.
- Corrective Action(s):
- 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
- Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observation: Brown sugar container had original packaging (plastic bag) submerged in the brown sugar. The bag is a high contact surface that can introduce contamination to the dry ingredient. This could make people sick.
- Corrective Action: Plastic bag of brown sugar was transferred to a separate container, with the bag discarded.
