Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 21, 2026. For example: Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?

  • 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 21, 2026. For example: Is all food in this facility fit for human consumption and not unwholesome, spoiled, or adulterated?

  • 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 21, 2026. For example: Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?

About this data

These results come from Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health), which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.

4 inspections

  1. Risk Management Inspection

    0 infractions

  2. Monitoring Inspection

    3 infractions

    • 03. Is all food in this facility fit for human consumption and not unwholesome, spoiled, or adulterated?
      • A few dented cans were observed on shelves in the retail area, but they were removed during the inspection. Please continue to perform daily walk throughs to identify and remove unwholesome food items.
    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • A solution comprised of soap, vinegar, and water was being used as a sanitizer in client restricted areas. Soap and vinegar are not approved as sanitizers since they are not effective against many foodborne pathogens, they may cause chemical contamination, and their concentration cannot be readily verified with test strips. Corrective action: Bleach solutions (which are used in retail areas) or another approved sanitizer must be used throughout the facility, including in client restricted areas.
    • 16. Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?
      • Weatherstripping on the back receiving door was in disrepair such that light was infiltrating. This increases the likelihood of pests entering the facility. Corrective action: Weatherstripping on the back receiving door must be repaired or replaced.

    0 infractions

  4. Demand Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 16. Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?
