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 March 16, 2026. For example:
308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
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 September 16, 2025. For example:
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

- Routine Inspection
1 infraction
- 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
- Observation:
- Connection leaking between the dishwasher's black drain tube and the copper drain pipe. Water is pooling on the floor and creating a source of water to breed pests (flies and rodents).
- Corrective Action(s):

- **Correction date: Mar. 23/26**
- Violation Score: 3
- 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
- Routine Inspection
1 infraction
- 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
- Observation:
- Buckets of chemicals are being stored on the floor. The floor is unable to be properly cleaned. All items shall be stored at least 6" off the floor.
- Corrective Action(s):
- Install another shelf to the wire rack, across from the dishwasher, so the buckets of chemicals can be stored off the floor. Ensure the shelf is at least 6" off the floor so brooms and mops can get under and clean the floor.
- **Correction date: Sept-25-25**
- Violation Score: 3
- 311 - Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]
- Observation:
- 1) The floor in the back, dry storage area, is STILL not sealed and easily cleanable. This was required to be addressed last year.
- 2) The waste pipe for the dishwasher is draining into a floor drain. Very hot water (above 180F) is pooling on the floor, which could burn staff or clients working in the kitchen.
- Corrective Action(s):
- 1) Repaint the floor in the back, dry storage area, so it is durable, smooth, sealed and cleanable. Highly recommend using an epoxy paint as it is very durable and cleanable.
- **Correction date: Mar-1-26**
- 2) Install the waste pipe for the dishwasher so it directly drains into a sanitary pipe or waste pipe, and it doesn't pool on the floor.
