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 once on September 15, 2026. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2026. For example:
Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.
Recorded once on September 15, 2026. For example:
Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

- 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
- Food was observed to be stored on the pantry floor in its original plastic containers. Staff were advised of the concern and instructed to move the food items off the floor to protect them from potential contamination and to facilitate cleaning. Please ensure that all food products are stored off the ground and on shelving or racks to maintain sanitary storage conditions.
- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- Rice and chicken were observed being hot held on the stove. When temperatures were measured, the food was found to be 49°C, which is below the required hot holding temperature. Staff stated that it was on the stove for 20 mins. They were informed of the concern and immediately increased the stove temperature. Upon re-evaluation, the rice and chicken were found to be at an adequate hot holding temperature. Please ensure that proper hot holding is being conducted at all times to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
- 22. Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
- Scoops were observed to be stored inside bulk food containers. Staff were advised to remove the scoops due to the risk of cross-contamination, as individuals may need to reach into the container to retrieve the scoop with potentially contaminated hands. The scoops were removed during the inspection. Please ensure that scoops continue to be stored outside of bulk containers in a sanitary manner to prevent contamination of food products.
