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.
Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk
Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.
Recorded once on August 12, 2026. For example:
Is all food in this facility from an approved source and/or properly labelled?
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 August 12, 2026. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
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 once on August 12, 2026. For example:
Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 once on August 12, 2026. For example:
Does the facility have a valid permit and does the facility operate in compliance with the conditions of that permit, or is the facility awaiting approval prior to operation?

The operators did provide a name of the business of where they obtain the carrot cake which is from Love, Truth and Food and the bread was from the Hutterite. Informed the operator that only approved and permitted kitchens can be used as suppliers and low-risk home prepared foods cannot be offered for resale. Discard the carrot cake and bread, obtain supplies from approved and permitted suppliers, and ensure invoices are readily available for review.

- There were boxes of whole produce stored directly on the pavement and in the mobile unit. Ensure all food is stored at least 6 inches above the ground to protect it from contamination.

- Raw eggs were stored at ambient temperature without adequate temperature control. The internal temperature of the raw eggs was 13C.Raw eggs must be stored at a temperature of 7C or below to prevent the growth of bacteria. The eggs were discarded at the time of the inspection.
