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 April 22, 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 April 22, 2025. For example:
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

- Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observation: Four spray bottles designated for Quat sanitizer registered concentrations at 100ppm. Operator stated that they were last filled the previous night. All bottles contained amounts below the halfway mark. Using sanitizers at insufficient concentrations can lead to the survival of pathogens on food contact surfaces. This can cause them to multiply to levels that will make customers sick.
- Corrective Actions: All four spray bottles were replaced with new sanitizer that registered at 400ppm Quats. Please ensure the concentration stays between 200-900ppm Quats, and according to the manufacturer's label.
