What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on January 13, 2026. For example:
All products dispensed in a manner that prevents contamination
Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk
Food and other products must come from approved sources, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when spoiled, expired or damaged. Labelling also matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.
Recorded once on January 13, 2026. For example:
Reusable items that are not cleaned immediately after each use to be soaked in a labelled, covered container of adequate size
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 13, 2026. For example:
All reusable items and/or equipment cleaned and then disinfected or sterilized, as applicable
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 February 4, 2025. For example:
Approved disinfectants are prepared and used appropriately, and records maintained
