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.

  • 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 2 times on August 13, 2026. For example: 20(2) A washroom facility must be constructed, equipped, and designed in accordance with the Nova Scotia Building Code.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on August 13, 2026. For example: 39(4)(c) An operator may allow dogs in an outdoor dining area if all of the following conditions for the outdoor dining area are met: (c) there are signs posted at each entrance to the area in such a manner as to be clearly observable by the public stating that dogs are allowed in the outdoor dining area and including the responsibilities of the pet owner under clauses (f), (g), (h) and (i);
