Inspection summary
Chances Grill Prince Rupert has been inspected once by Northern Health Authority, on February 19, 2025. The most recent inspection, on February 19, 2025, recorded 2 infractions.
No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Food temperature control.
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.
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 February 19, 2025. For example:
201 - Critical Food contaminated or unfit for human consumption [s. 13]
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 February 19, 2025. For example:
205 - Critical Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]

- Initial Inspection
2 infractions
- 201 - Critical Food contaminated or unfit for human consumption [s. 13]
- Observation: Facility was using community water currently under a boil water notice to prepare and serve ice. (Public Health significance) Water consumed under a boil water notice could cause harm and could result in waterborne illnesses. (Public Health Significance): All foods on the premises must be wholesome and free from spoilage or adulteration and otherwise fit for human consumption. Unacceptable food items could cause food borne illness and become insect and rodent attractants or inadvertently be added to other food.
- Corrective Action: Do not use the ice machines with community water until the boil water notice has been lifted. Alternatively, use an alternative source (an approved source not currently under a notice) of water for this machine. The community water may be used IF the water is brought to a rolling boil for a minimum of one minute and cooled prior to use. Serve bottled or canned beverages until the boil water notice has been lifted. After boil water notice has been lifted clean and sanitize the ice machinesaccording to the manufacturer's instructions before reusing them. Coffee and other hot beverages are still allowed to be sold because they reach temperatures hot enough (74°C/ 165°F for a minimum 15 seconds, verified by a probe thermometer) to kill pathogenic organisms.
- 205 - Critical Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
- Observation: Refrigeration Temperatures are Slightly elevated (greater than 4°C) The left prep table was probed at no lower than 6.6°C at time of inspection. (Public Health Significance): Refrigeration temperatures for perishable foods must be less than 4°C to prevent the growth of disease causing bacteria and toxin production.
- Corrective Action: Move potentially hazardous foods to working refrigeration units immediately--or discard the potentially hazardous foods in the defective cooler and have the unit serviced. Monitor and log temperatures regularly, adjust and have repaired as necessary to provide a temperature of 4°C at all times. Potentially hazardous chicken wings were moved from the prep table at time of inspection. All other foods were not potentially hazardous.
