Inspection summary
Hasty Mart Esso has been inspected 9 times by Interior Health Authority since February 27, 2014. The most recent inspection, on August 5, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.
5 of 9 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, Food source, labelling and allergens and Food temperature control.
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 5, 2026. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 5, 2026. For example:
6 Are the foods from approved sources and has the operator taken steps to ensure that the food is safe for consumption?
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 April 20, 2022. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
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 May 3, 2024. For example:
1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

I bought a piece of chicken here today. I ate the skin with the batter not knowing it was completely under cooked inside. I pulled it apart to expose it and went inside to show him. He would not return my money as he said I ate it all. I had to eat the outside skin and coating to see the meat inside. I will call the health board and they can take it up with him. If I get ecoli or Salmonella he will know about it. Maybe take a course on customer service. Very rude man

There is also, buns, raisin bread, cheese bread, homemade subs and pastries. Their always kind, the breads come in both white, and whole wheat. Sliced or un-sliced. Just a good feeling little store!

Locally owned, owners are nice, and their gas is always between 1 and 4 cents per litre cheaper than every other gas station in town. Plus they have a great little hot food selection if you need a quick lunch.

They raised prices on items yesterday. I walked all the way there and brought correct change but due to the raised prices I was $0.15 cents short. I frequently shopped here and this is the first time I’ve ever been treated like this in over 3 years of being a regular shopper here. Very disappointed. I’ll still go here if I absolutely have to as it’s somewhat close to my house but I will avoid doing so at all possible.
