What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

• Food temperature controlHigher risk

  Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

  Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 21, 2026. For example: All Hot holding units/food items are maintained at 60°C (140°F) or hotter at all times. [s. 27(1), 30]

• Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

  Cleaning products, disinfectants and pesticides must be labelled and stored safely, away from food and from surfaces people touch. Inspectors flag chemicals that could contaminate food or harm people, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

  Recorded once on May 21, 2026. For example: Chemical(s) used appropriately (concentration, contact time, tasks, etc..). [s.19]

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

  Recorded once on October 16, 2025. For example: All food is stored and handled in a manner that is protected from contamination and adulteration. [s.26, 31]

• Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

  Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

  Recorded once on August 8, 2024. For example: A sufficient number of handwash stations are present, each has all required supplies, are not used for any other purpose, and are not blocked/rendered inaccessible. [s. 7(3)(a)(c), (4)]

• Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

  Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.

  Recorded once on June 28, 2022. For example: Manual dishwashing done correctly (wash, rinse, sanitize) with correct number of sinks of sufficient size. [s. 18-19]
