103 - 9616 Franklin Avenue Fort McMurray AB T9H 2J9 · Food - General
Inspection summary
Flavors Ice Cream has been inspected 15 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since January 22, 2024. The most recent inspection, on July 24, 2026, recorded 10 infractions.
2 of 15 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 6 inspections with 33 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Food temperature control and Protecting food from contamination.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
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 9 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. For example:
Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 24, 2026. For example:
Is all food in this facility fit for human consumption and not unwholesome, spoiled, or adulterated?
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 July 15, 2025. For example:
Are chemicals stored and handled in a safe manner?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 19, 2024. For example:
Is all food in this facility from an approved source and/or properly labelled?

- Internal temperature of a jug of milk inside a mini cooler at the checkout area was measured at 17 degrees Celsius. Cooler was not plugged in from the previous day. Milk was discarded during inspection. Check temperatures of all cooling units including coolers and freezers daily. Ensure coolers and freezers are plugged in and functioning properly at all times.
- 11. Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
- The food premises does not have an adequate dishwashing setup for the volume and level of food handling conducted on-site. Reusable dishes and utensils are used for food service; however, only a two-compartment sink was available in the food preparation area, and no dedicated handwashing sink was provided at that location.A separate handwashing sink was located behind the checkout area near the ice cream freezers, which is not readily accessible for food preparation activities.- Install a minimum three-compartment sink and a dedicated handwashing sink in the food preparation area. Alternatively, install a commercial dishwasher that meets regulatory requirements, along with a dedicated handwashing sink in the food preparation area. This must be completed to ensure adequate cleaning and sanitizing of food-contact equipment and proper hand hygiene by food handlers.
- 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
- The paper towel dispenser at the front checkout handwashing station was installed at a distance from the handwashing sink. Single-use food service utensils were stored between the sink and the paper towel dispenser. This arrangement is not suitable for a food service environment, as food handlers may need to touch surrounding surfaces or reach across stored items after washing their hands, increasing the risk of contamination.- Relocate the paper towel dispenser adjacent to the handwashing sink and ensure it is readily accessible immediately after handwashing.
- 20. Do food handlers at the facility have adequate food safety training?
- There was no evidence of food safety training available at the time of inspection. Food handlers and persons in care and control of the food facility had not provided proof of completion of an approved food safety training course.The Alberta Food Regulation (AR 31/2006) requires that at least one person in care and control of a food facility be certified in food safety.

Maintain proof of certification on site and make it available upon request.
- 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
- Ventilation in the food preparation back room was inadequate at the time of inspection. The ambient air temperature in this area measured 32°C, creating an uncomfortable working environment and potentially affecting food safety by contributing to heat buildup around food handling and storage areas.- Install additional ventilation system in the food preparation back room to maintain a comfortable and sanitary food handling environment. Ensure the ventilation system is capable of effectively removing excess heat and providing adequate air circulation throughout the area.
- 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
- Several counters and shelving edges were unfinished, exposing raw plywood. Unfinished wood surfaces are not smooth, durable, or easily cleanable and can absorb moisture, food debris, and contaminants.- Repair or finish all exposed plywood surfaces. Counter and shelving edges must be sealed and maintained with a smooth, durable, non-absorbent, and easily cleanable finish to prevent contamination and facilitate effective cleaning and sanitizing.
- 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
- There was a gap in the wall behind the hand-washing sink located behind the checkout counter. Gaps and openings in walls can impede effective cleaning, allow the accumulation of dirt and debris, and may provide harbourage areas for pests.Cover the gap in the wall behind the hand-washing sink.
