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 December 22, 2025. For example: Linens, sheets, towels, etc. are single-use, disposable or laundered after each use and stored in a sanitary manner

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 24, 2025. For example: All reusable, single-use disposable items and/or equipment stored appropriately and maintained in clean and sanitary condition

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 2 times on December 22, 2025. For example: Approved disinfectants are prepared and used appropriately, and records maintained

  • 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 once on December 22, 2025. For example: All items that cannot be cleaned, disinfected or sterilized must be single-use disposable
