Inspection summary

Grillers Meats has been inspected 5 times by Interior Health Authority since October 11, 2022. The most recent inspection, on September 9, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

1 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Cleaning and sanitizing and Food source, labelling and allergens.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 9, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • 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 May 14, 2024. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

    Recorded once on October 11, 2022. For example: 6 Are the foods from approved sources and has the operator taken steps to ensure that the food is safe for consumption?

  • 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 once on September 9, 2026. For example: 1 Does the operator have a valid operating permit or approval to operate?

    First of all i want to give a big shout out to Collette. I called the day before to make sure they would be open and she was so kind on the phone and told me she would take care of us personally. Then when we went in she remembered me and personally walked thru every meal we were planning for our houseboat trip. They cut some custom requests as well as helped us pick out some frozen and fresh meats. This is a super authentic feeling butcher shop that has great meat and great prices. If i lived in Salmon Arm i would never buy meat anywhere but at Grillers Meats.

    Grillers Meats never disappoints! We order a whole cow from them every year, buy all of our chicken there, and their tomahawk steaks are absolutely to die for. The quality is second to none, and the customer service is always fantastic. On top of that, they truly care about our community and are always giving back. We’re proud to support such an amazing local business. Highly recommend!

    Amazing service with real heart! I just want to give a massive shoutout to the team at Grillers Meats Salmon Arm . I'm just looking for a steak yesterday and they showed what true community and customer care look like. An elderly man came in and was having a hard time breathing. Without hesitation, the young white guy working there grabbed him a chair so he could rest, and the Asian gentleman stepped right up to help, taking his order and treating him with the utmost dignity and respect. ​They didn't just see a customer; they saw a neighbor who needed a hand. If you want to support a local business that serves top-quality food and genuinely cares about people, please give Grillers Meats your business. They deserve every bit of praise!

    Really enjoyed visiting this store! Upbeat atmosphere and excellent selection. We bought a bone in prime rib, a ribeye steak, 4 prawn skewers, 2 lobster tails and some pork chops — Quality of the meat is very good!

    Unfortunate experience today at Grillers Meats in Salmon Arm. First time at this butcher shop, paid $75 for two AAA RIB EYE steaks (price not out of line). Gal behind counter presented a beautiful steak, the cut & marbling was lovely, I asked for two. When I unpacked the steaks at home, I was disappointed to find the second steak was vastly different from the first steak shown to me at the store. The second steak (see below) has one side 1/2” thick the other side 1” (hardly ideal to BBQ evenly). I might expect such variation in a supermarket but not a specialty butcher shop. Note to self and others, ask to see EACH cut prior to packaging, do not rely on staff to select. Darn….Dawn R
