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 11 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 30, 2023. For example: The heat-alterable product with the exception of whole fresh fruit and vegetables must be cooled without delay and kept constantly at an internal and ambient temperature not exceeding 4C until it is delivered to the consumer, except for the time required for the application of a manufacturing process or treatment recognized in the food industry and requiring a higher temperature.

• Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

  Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

  Recorded once on January 31, 2020. For example: The places, vehicles, equipment, materials and utensils used in preparation for packaging, storage, transport, labelling and service of products, as well as other sanitary facilities and premises, shall be clean.

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

  Recorded once on November 29, 2023. For example: In a place or vehicle, unpackaged products must be placed in containers or containers other than fresh fruit and vegetables when harvested. The place shall be equipped with storage supports on which containers or containers of products shall be stored so as not to come into contact with the floor. Storage supports shall be at a minimum floor height of 10 cm in the case of fixed supports and 8 cm in the case of removable supports.

• Equipment and utensilsLower risk

  Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

  Recorded once on November 29, 2023. For example: The following single-use items are not permitted in an establishment to be distributed on site, for transport or by delivery: tray #6, Plate #6, Container and lid #6, Cup or glass cover #6, Cup or glass cover, Stick, Straw, Ustensile #1, #2, ,3, #4, #5, #6, #7.

• Food safety training and certificationLower risk

  Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

  Recorded once on August 30, 2023. For example: An operator of a place or vehicle in which products intended for human consumption are prepared for sale or where the activity of a restaurant is carried out shall keep a record of the number of members of his staff assigned to the preparation of the products or to the washing or cleaning of equipment and equipment in contact with the products, including the person responsible for the control of food hygiene and safety in that place or vehicle, and the names of those holding a certificate of training as food handler or food establishment manager. He must keep the register at the place of business as long as these persons are members of his staff and 12 months after they have ceased to be members.
