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 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 September 2, 2026. For example: Critical Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)

  • 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 September 1, 2026. For example: Critical Improper Cleaning, Sanitizing of Equipment and Utensils

  • 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 September 1, 2026. For example: Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 9, 2026. For example: Operations and Maintenance/Other

  3. Routine

    4 infractions

    • Critical Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)

IR Temperature Gun used to verify refrigeration unit is not displaying accurate Temperature reading, which will require calibration or replacement.
      • 1. Corrected onsite - Staff discarded dairy products stored in the fridge and adjusted the fridge temperature. Fridge temperature is at 0°celsius after the adjustment. 2. Closely monitor the cooler temperature. If the cooler temperature can not be maintained at or below 4°celsius then it would need to be repaired or replaced.
    • Critical Improper Cleaning, Sanitizing of Equipment and Utensils
      • 1.QUAT sanitizer in spray bottle measured at 100 parts per million and inadequate for sanitization of food contact surfaces. QUAT sanitizer test strips available onsite for verifications. 2. Can opener is covered with debris and needs to be cleaned and sanitized.
