Inspection summary
Creston Fruit Market Ltd. has been inspected 4 times by Interior Health Authority since May 28, 2021. The most recent inspection, on May 15, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
2 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 1 infraction recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control and Protecting food from contamination.
The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.
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 once on May 26, 2023. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
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 May 26, 2023. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
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 May 15, 2026. For example:
1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

Near the end of August there was still a good selection of fruits and vegetables to choose from. The prices were reasonable Lots of non produce things to eat/buy. Staff was friendly and to quickly answered our questions. Convenient location at one end ofthe community. A reasonable amount of free parking. The in season fruit tasted great.

Wonderful market that sells locally made foods and really well priced plants that are great for this area. But the best part is the latest addition of Mexican Taco stand - it is very cosy with picnic tables under a shade of a tree and the tacose oh so good. We tried chicken tinga and it was really nice - fresh cilantro, onion, nice flavours of chicken. Can't wait to go back for more.

Hands down to my favorite spot whenever I'm around Creston area. The butter chicken is finger licking good, I'd say the best in town. They've got good selection of local fruits and prices beat the bigger grocery stores. They've got great pies also, I personally prefer the huckleberry one (incredible). The tacos from los tacos are a delight too. Highly recommend to locals and anyone that's passing through, you won't be disappointed. Additionally the staff is super kind!!
