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 May 8, 2024. For example: Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?

  • 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 8, 2024. For example: Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on May 8, 2024. For example: Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • 1. There was a loose roll of paper towel on the front counter. Paper towel must be held in a dispenser.

      • 1. In the walk-in cooler, the sliced tomatoes bowl was inside the shredded lettuce bowl. Food containers should never be nested.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • 1. Hot held gravy was measured to be 55C. Hot foods must be held at 60C or above. The steam table on the grill does not impart enough heat into the gravy to maintain 60C. Find a way to increase the temperature of the gravy to 60C or greater. Possibly place the gravy container directly on the grill or use a small crock pot kind of heated container.
