Inspection summary

FreshCo Kamloops has been inspected 3 times by Interior Health Authority since April 14, 2021. The most recent inspection, on August 14, 2024, recorded 2 infractions.

1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Handwashing and staff hygiene and Food temperature control.

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.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 14, 2024. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • 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 14, 2024. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

    This is an excellent grocery store, pretty big and well stocked with a variety of items. There is especially good selection of ingredients suitable for Indian cuisine amongst other cuisines. From what I've seen, prices are lower here than Save On, and other equivalents. They are even generally lower than Canadian Superstore, though they generally have less selection for any given product. For Scene Point collectors, they offer points rewards at checkout as well If you've never been, check it out!

    Some genius just accused me of stealing because I didn't buy anything!!! The store owner came out to apologize on his behalf but I'll never set my foot in this place again. I have been a regular customer for over 4 years almost every day after the gym and to get accused of stealing is the biggest slap in the face as a loyal customer I've ever gotten from any store. If you go in, buy something or get ready to be called a theif and humiliated infront of the entire store!!!

    Pretty good store. Shelves are stocked neatly, quite bright and it seems a pretty laid back environment. The prices were good and comparable to its other major competitor across the street. Good sales on currently as due to opening maybe trying to lure in business. Good selection of products in the International and Asian food section. Has a Pharmacy.

    Do not listen to Troy P. The service here is AMAZING! Even though I only get Monster energy, it's a great store. Also, me and my friends walked out and didn't buy a thing - not accused of stealing. I can't find the narutomaki.

  • Kathryn Corbo

    Usually good prices, but the staff are miserable. Just had to ask a cashier if the job description included being rude and not even saying hello back to customers. Miserable. Not one word spoken during the transaction back to me, customer service is crap here.
