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 once on January 5, 2022. For example:
7 Are foods protected from contamination?
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 January 5, 2022. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
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 May 15, 2018. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded once on May 15, 2018. For example:
6 Are the premises designed and equipped to ensure safe food handling?
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 May 15, 2018. For example:
3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

Helpful staff, and was accommodating to my request for a large order of tasty Peppered and Original jerky. Also grabbed some Chorizo and Landjaeger. Both holds up with the best Ive tried :) A must stop for anyone wanting a carnivore snack

Visited from Alberta and stayed by the lake for 10 days. Considering Alberta beef is top-notch, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meat sold at grillers meat. The AAA rib-eye and t-bones were absolutely amazing and I kept going back for more. You pay for quality and this place doesn’t disappoint. I was able to pick the cuts I wanted the 4 times I visited them during my stay. In one occasion I preferred more fat on the cuts they had in the front and they went and cut me custom piece with extra fat on it for me. Will plan my next trip in Okanagan to stay in an area close to these guys. It’s that good.
