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.

• Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

  Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

  Recorded 2 times on October 23, 2025. For example: Separate and convenient hand washing sink(s)

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  Recorded once on October 23, 2025. For example: Food protected from contamination / adulteration (e.g. food

• Equipment and utensilsLower risk

  Recorded once on October 23, 2025. For example: Proper maintenance and use of equipment (machines

  Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
