None of the 10 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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.

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 17, 2018. For example: The surfaces of equipment, equipment, utensils and containers which come into direct contact with the products, except for whole fresh fruit and vegetables which are not the subject of preparation, must be made of a material: 1° which cannot be corroded; resistant to washing, cleaning or disinfection; 3° non-toxic and not in state or in putrefaction; 4° non-absorbent and waterproof; 5° unalterable by the products and manufactured so as not to alter the products. These surfaces shall be free of detachable particles, ash or cracks.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 28, 2011. For example: The heat-alterable product with the exception of whole fresh fruit and vegetables must be cooled without delay and kept constantly at an internal and ambient temperature not exceeding 4C until it is delivered to the consumer, except for the time required for the application of a manufacturing process or treatment recognized in the food industry and requiring a higher temperature.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on November 18, 2017. For example: In a room or vehicle used for the preparation of products; doors, walls and ceilings shall be washable, smooth, not in condition or in putrefaction and free from aschery or scales.

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on January 27, 2017. For example: Any product packed for sale must bear, in indelible, very legible and apparent characters, the container, packaging or envelope containing it the inscriptions necessary to reveal the nature, condition, composition, use, exact quantity, origin and any particularity of the product; the name and address of the manufacturer, preparer, conditioner, packager, supplier or distributor; the place of manufacture, preparation or packaging of the product. The list of components shall be given in order of decreasing importance. The weight indication must take into account the normal loss of the product after packaging and be expressed as net weight.
