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 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 30, 2025. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 2 times on August 24, 2015. For example: 17 - Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

About this data

These results come from Interior Health Authority, 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.

    • F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): During inspection, sanitizer solution in spray bottle measured to be at inadequate concentration for effective sanitizing. New batch of sanitizer solution mixed during inspection. • Ensure sanitizer mixtures measure between 200 and 400 ppm with test strips. Check sanitizer concentrations at least once daily and record measured concentrations. High temperature mechanical dishwasher providing adequate sanitization temperature of 73.7°C at the dish surface , measured with a DishTemp thermometer.

  5. Monitoring

    1 infraction

    • F2.3 - Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): • Dishwasher gauge reading 140-145°F during wash cycle and 183-186°C for final sanitizing rinse (minimum required for final rinse is 180°C at manifold prior to entry into the wash chamber). Color changing indicator labels registered under the minimum 160°F required for dish surfaces when placed in successive wash loads. This finding casts doubt on the accuracy of the machine gauge or is suggestive of excessive heat loss in the wash chamber. Machine is in the process of being replaced. Until the unit is replaced, a wash-rinse-sanitize manual process will be followed to ensure that utensils are fully washed and sanitized. Sanitizing rinse water is to have a minimum of 50 ppm chlorine residual as confirmed by test strip when the water temperature is between 13°-49°C. Washed and rinsed utensils are to be immersed in the sanitizer solution for two minutes and allowed to air dry.
