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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2023. For example: The place or vehicle shall be ventilated, ventilated and provided with hot and cold running drinking water; a liquid or powdered soap dispenser. The temperature of hot water shall be at least 60oC. The premises, area or vehicle used for the preparation of the products shall, in addition, have a sink, disposable individual towels and be equipped with a waste water collection or disposal system.

• PestsHigher risk

  Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

  Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on March 2, 2023. For example: The place or vehicle shall be free of contaminants, pollutants, any species of animals including insects and rodents or their excreta.
