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.

  • 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 May 17, 2023. For example: 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]

  • 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 17, 2023. For example: 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]

  • 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 May 17, 2023. For example: 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]

  • Other findingsLower risk

    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.

    Recorded once on June 5, 2023. For example: 105 - Remote Inspection

  4. Initial Inspection

    3 infractions

    • 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
      • Observation: No foodgrade sanitizing agents were found in the food premises. Public health significance: Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces used for food preparation and handling may be contaminated with harmful microorganisms (pathogens). The use of foodgrade sanitizers after washing and rinsing of equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces allows for their disinfection against pathogens that may cause foodborne illnesses.
      • Corrective Action: Approved foodgrade sanitizers, such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach), must be purchased and supplied in food premises. Furthermore, sanitizer solution must be prepared from the supply, measuring at an appropriate concentration to ensure adequate disinfection (e.g., 100-200 ppm for bleach, 200-400 ppm for QUATs, etc.)
    • 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]
      • Observation: Spray bottles that were to be used for storing and applying sanitizers were not labelled. Public health significance: Unlabelled or improperly labelled chemical bottles and containers may be mistaken and misused. The misuse of chemicals may lead to accidental chemical contamination of foods, result in inadequate sanitization of food contact surfaces, or pose health and safety risks for staff handling the chemicals.
      • Corrective Action: All bottles and containers holding chemicals must be properly labelled with the chemical agent that is to be stored.
    • 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
      • Observation: Handwashing sink was not supplied with handwashing soap and disposable paper towels. Public health significance: Lack of handwashing soap prevents food handlers from effectively cleaning soiled and potentially contaminated hands. Lack of disposable paper towels prevents a sanitary method for drying wet hands after they've been washed. Inadequate hand hygiene may lead to cross-contamination of foods. Ingestion of contaminated food may lead to foodborne illnesses.
      • Corrective Action: Handwashing sink must be supplied with handwashing soap and disposable paper towels in addition to potable running warm/hot water.
