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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 7, 2026. 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 December 8, 2023. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

- Food contact surface sanitizer initially had a bleach and soap solution concentration. Staff complied to make a new bleach and water solution with concentration of 100 ppm.- Please ensure to prepare a solution using only bleach and water, as the bleach concentration decreases and reacts with other chemicals such as soap. If soap is needed (eg. removal of grease) for cleaning, always follow up with sanitization using a bleach and water solution at 100 ppm concentration only.
- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- A container of cooked meat was observed left on a table for approx. 30 mins and was measured at 22 degrees C. Staff complied to place the food back in a cold holding unit to maintain at below 4 degrees C. All other temperature holding units were measured satisfactory. Cold holding unit maintain at below 4 C. Freezer at below minus 18 C. hot holding unit at above 60 C.
