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 source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

    Recorded once on July 21, 2020. For example: 6 Are the foods from approved sources and has the operator taken steps to ensure that the food is safe for consumption?

  • 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 once on August 1, 2018. For example: 5 Has the operator taken steps to ensure employees are using adequate hygiene measures to prevent contamination of food?

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on August 1, 2018. For example: 2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

  • 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 August 1, 2018. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • 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 July 12, 2013. For example: 4 - Are the staff washing hands as often as necessary to prevent contamination of food?

    1 infraction

    • F1.6 Are the foods from approved sources and has the operator taken steps to ensure that the food is safe for consumption?
      • Observation(s): Operator has ungraded farm eggs for retail sale in graded egg containers. Some eggs also had signs of fecal matter, as thus the eggs appear to be unwashed. Unclean, ungraded eggs present a health risk to the consumer. The sale of ungraded eggs at retail is not permissible in BC. Due to the commercial nature of this premises, it does not qualify as "farmgate sales". Storage of such eggs in cartons specifying "GRADE A" is false labelling. Please remove all ungraded eggs from sale. Provide confirmation that this is complete by email. Only graded egg sources may be sold at retail.
      • F1.6A All foods on the premises must be from an approved source.
  7. Monitoring

    4 infractions

    • F1.5 Has the operator taken steps to ensure employees are using adequate hygiene measures to prevent contamination of food?
      • Observation(s): Handwashing habits of staff are not consistent between handling of cash and ice cream cones. Although napkins are used as a barrier between hands and cones, please strictly enforce the requirement to wash hands following incompatible duties such as handling cash. Alternatively, division of labour can be used to circumvent the need for such frequent handwashing given the constant flow of service.
      • F1.5A Employees must wash their hands as often as necessary to prevent the contamination of food.
    • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
      • Observation(s): 1. Chlorine test strips must be available to assist staff with properly mixing the bleach sanitizer to an effective, no- rinse concentration of 100-200ppm. 2. A thermometer is not in place in the mini fridge used to hold dairy for milkshakes. Please monitor to ensure this unit maintains products at 4°C or colder. Remove all miscellaneous unrelated products (eg. cheeses) that do not belong in this unit.
      • F2.1A Sanitizer test strips must be available for each chemical sanitizer used at the premises.
    • F2.2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?
      • Observation(s): A few flies are noted around the premises. Please take measures to ensure the premises is maintained free of pests. If pesticides (eg. sprays) are to be used, please ensure all foods and food contact surfaces are covered to protect from contamination. Use products according to manufacturer instructions. These products as well as their use instructions should be included within your sanitation plan. Please see F3.4 for more details. Due to the farm nature of the property and the frequency with which doors are opened, it would be helpful to install an ongoing fly control measure (Eg. fly tape, bluelight attractant--with sticky board backing). Do not install these items over food prep/handling areas.
      • F2.2C The premises must be maintained free of pests.
    • F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): 1. At the time of visit, dipper well was not being used. Scoops were being placed in buckets with warm water that were being replaced as needed. As discussed, scoops must be kept in running dipper wells during use. 2. Bleach sanitizer in spray bottle was too strong. The dilution ratio (1/2 teaspoon to the 750ml bottle) was demonstrated at the time of visit. Please ensure solution is made fresh daily. The same ratio must be used for manual warewashing of scoops as a final sanitation process prior to airdrying. This latter process is stated to be occurring but could not be verified at the time of visit. Signage for manual warewashing process is in place.
      • F2.3B Manual dishwashing procedure must provide sufficient washing and sanitizing action to remove contamination.
      • F2.3D Sanitizer solution must be available and kept at the correct levels for adequate sanitizing action.

    1 infraction

    • 5.1 - Is the written sanitation plan developed and maintained for the premises?
      • Observation(s): The staff completed a Sanitation Plan at the time of inspection. This deficiency is resolved.

    • 9.4 - Are the staff washing hands as often as necessary to prevent contamination of food?
      • Observation(s): Staff were observed to be handling cash and then picking up cones with bare hands before wrapping it in a tissue to serve customers. Corrected during inspection: cones are picked up with a tissue before being wrapped in another tissue. Regarding the handling of cash and serving ice cream to customers if it is not feasible to wash hands between patrons or use 2 tissues for each cone, other options may be to: 1) designate a person to handle cash only 2) implement a token system whereby customers pay for their ice cream and receive a token which is given to the ice cream handler for their purchase
