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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on November 20, 2025. For example: 19(2)(a) - FAILING TO PROVIDE POTABLE HOT & COLD WATER AT ADEQUATE PRESSURE & VOLUME WITH APPROPRIATE FACILITIES TO STORE & DISTRIBUTE WATER & CONTROL TEMPERATURE.

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 October 9, 2025. For example: 19(2)(a) - INADEQUATE WATER SAMPLING PROTOCOL BEING FOLLOWED / RECORDS KEPT.

  • 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 November 20, 2025. For example: 29(2)(a) - INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, CLEANING & SANITATION PROGRAM.
