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 August 5, 2025. For example: 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on August 5, 2025. For example: 305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]

  • 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 December 9, 2024. For example: 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

3 inspections

  1. Routine Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
      • Observation: 1. Inappropriate equipment is used as scoops to obtain or move ingredients or product. Scoop handles must be kept free from the product to prevent hand contact and contamination. 2. Foods were left uncovered and open to contamination inside the walk-in freezer. Contamination of food from contact with objects, people, pests or chemicals can cause serious illness.
      • Corrective Action: 1. Use food safe scoops in place of bowls or other containers to transfer ingredients. 2. Ensure all foods inside freezer are covered.
    • 305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
      • Observation: Observed a large gap at the base of the wall below the dish pit that could allow pests (e.g. mice) to enter/harbour.
      • Corrective Action: Operator to seal any gaps in the kitchen that could allow pests to enter and harbour.
  2. Follow-Up Inspection

    0 infractions

  3. Routine Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
      • Observation: Walls around and across from the dishwashing area in the kitchen are damaged and have peeling paint. This condition makes them difficult to clean & sanitize as the surfaces are not smooth, impervious to moisture and durable. Also, the peeling paint may dislodge and contaminate foods.
      • Corrective Action: Walls around and across from the dishwashing area in the kitchen must be refinished to provide a surface that's smooth, impervious to moisture, durable, easy to clean and non-toxic.
