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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 13, 2025. For example:
Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on March 9, 2026. For example:
Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 13, 2025. For example:
Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

- 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
- Facility has two sets of two-compartment sinks for equipment washing. One set is small, the other is large enough to fit most equipment. The smaller two-compartment sink only has a spray nozzle.A proper dedicated handwashing sink is located up front behind the display booth. Operator and staff are using the large two-compartment sink for handwashing. This sink has liquid soap and hand towels, which are laundered after use.Due to the large two compartment sink being used for equipment washing, it cannot be used for handwashing as handwashing sinks need to be dedicated. The smaller two-compartment sink would be appropriate for handwashing if a tap were installed to allow both hands to be washed without touching any part of the sink.The current options for the operator are either retrofitting a tap on the smaller two-compartment sink so hands can be freely washed, or have all staff use the front handwashing sink for all handwashing. ENSURE:Dedicated handwashing sinks (not counting bathrooms) are available for food handlers.
