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 once on November 5, 2025. 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 November 5, 2025. 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 June 9, 2026. For example: Do food handlers refrain from handling food while ill and have acceptable attire and hygiene?

  • 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 once on June 9, 2026. For example: Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?

  • 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 once on November 5, 2025. For example: Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • Quat's sanitizer's concentration from the dispenser of the three-compartment sinks and in red sanitizer buckets was found to be above acceptable limits. Test strips indicated that the concentration exceeded 400 ppm, which is outside of appropriate range. The onsite supervisor was made aware that a company needs to adjust the concentration of the quats that is dispensing from the system to 200 ppm. Until fixed, diluting the concentration either in sanitizer buckets or at the three-compartment sink is permitted. However, the concentration levels at the dispenser of the three- compartment sink need to be fixed within a two-week period. Follow-up is required to ensure that levels are measuring at 200 ppm.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • Hot holding of the meatballs was not at the required temperature of 60 degrees C or above. When probed with a calibrated thermometer, the meatballs were a temperature of 32 C. Food held between 4-60 degrees C for more than two hours is at risk for the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness.The onsite supervisor was made aware of this temperature, and the temperature of the hot holding unit was increased immediately. The meatballs had been at this temperature for less than ten minutes. The supervisor was instructed to recheck the internal temperature of the meatballs again after 20 mins to ensure that the meatball reached 60 degrees C or higher. Please ensure that all foods are cooked to an internal temperature of 74 C and then transferred to a preheated hot holding unit maintained at 60 C or above. This will assist at reducing the risk of foodborne illness.
    • 22. Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
      • A scoop was noted to be stored in the meat section of the sandwich preparation area. Onsite supervisor corrected this and took scoop out. Please ensure that all scoops are placed outside of containers to reduce cross contamination.
