Inspection summary

Highland Valley Foods has been inspected 4 times by Interior Health Authority since October 26, 2021. The most recent inspection, on October 30, 2025, recorded 2 infractions.

None of the 4 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Protecting food from contamination and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 30, 2025. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • 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 November 23, 2023. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 2 times on November 24, 2022. For example: 5 Has the operator taken steps to ensure employees are using adequate hygiene measures to prevent contamination of food?

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 30, 2025. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    I was in a couple days ago and bought an item because there was a sign saying it was on sale. At the checkout, the customer ahead of me caught an overcharge on an item that was more in the cash register than showing on the shelf. The manager came out and agreed that the customer was correct about the price. I guess that should have been a heads-up to check my bill before I left. When I got home, I saw I was overcharged by a whopping $8 (80%) for a poor product I only bought because of the sale price. I took my receipt in today. The cashier was apologetic. She got the manager, who came to the till, looked at my receipt then said he needed to go to the office to check it out. The cashier got called to the office, then came back to tell me the sale had ended the day before I bought it. "Sorry about that." I think she was. I said, "But the sign was still hanging there." "Sorry about that." Last year I got some really rotten looking and smelling shrimp on sale. (See the photos below. ) I never made it back in to ask for a refund. Now I realize it would have been a waste of time for me anyway. The take away is: if you have to buy here, check your bill before you leave the store. Check what you're buying carefully. Once you leave it's buyer beware. I believe in the "buy local" philosophy, but not if the local business lacks integrity. I'll shop less here and more in Kamloops.

    Bad meat counter. Poor produce department. No bread selection. Well please improve.

    Nice clean store, good selection for a smaller grocery store! Deli makes sandwiches, salads and meals you just have to warm up! Friendly staff, sometimes produce is hit or miss, but still well stocked for a small town! Grateful to have this grocery store in our community!!

    Clean, organized, and convienient! Their sales are amazing and comparable to big stores in surrounding communities. They have THE best butcher department with fabulous Butcher's who love to do custom orders! Friendly staff and a host if new items for your convenience from home cooked and packed meals to my favourite, roasted chickens❤

    Watch for the small sales signs down the aisles, not normally the aisle headers for the best prices. Veg needs to be checked over before buying. Meats... the chicken and pork can be had at good prices. Pork ribs... I'd avoid, the cuts have a lot of marrow and fat in them. Staff are always friendly and attentive. For a small town grocer the prices are fair.
