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.

• 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 March 6, 2024. For example: Manual dishwashing done correctly (wash, rinse, sanitize) with correct number of sinks of sufficient size. [s. 18-19]

• Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

  Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

  Recorded once on January 24, 2014. For example: Chemical disinfectant or sanitizing agent(s) used correctly as per manufacturer's instructions not less than the minimum required concentration(s).

• 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 March 6, 2024. For example: Towels, table covers, napkins, and/or cloths are clean, intact, and/or used correctly. [s.15-16]
