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 on February 12, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 once on March 27, 2025. For example: 1 Does the operator have a valid operating permit or approval to operate?

There were also some samosas in a foil in the drinks cooler which was stored under an in compliance temperature of 2.5C. There was no handwashing sink present in the facility for the employees to use when handling samosas. The operator must get an approval from the health authority before selling non-packaged food to the public or not sell non-packaged potentially hazardous food. The approval processes includes a written procedure on how to properly reheat the food to the internal temperature of 74C and above and hot hold food at a temperature of 60C and above and adequate hand washing stations in order to prevent having food in the danger zone which is the temperature that allows for the microorganisms to multiply and also potentially produce toxins to a level that can cause foodborne illness causing harm to the public.
