Inspection summary
Hung Phat Vietnamese Noodle House has been inspected 5 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since June 5, 2024. The most recent inspection, on October 17, 2025, found no infractions.
2 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control and Cleaning and sanitizing.
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.
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 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 10, 2025. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 8, 2025. For example:
Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
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 9 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 8, 2025. For example:
Do food handlers refrain from handling food while ill and have acceptable attire and hygiene?
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 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 10, 2025. For example:
Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 10, 2025. For example:
Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?

16 infractions
- 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
- ** - no sanitizer solution ready-to use was located onsite. Bucket of liquid presented to PHI was measured and verified 0 ppm of chlorine (their sanitizer of choice). PHI had to request sanitizer solution multiple times during the inspection. Owner did make fresh sanitizer properly and tested it for the PHI to demonstrate that they do know how to make the sanitizer. Reminder: the sanitizer cloth solution must be changed as soon as dirty and often as the sanitizer is no longer effective over time (goes “dead”, active ingredient gets used up).
- 05. Do food handlers refrain from handling food while ill and have acceptable attire and hygiene?
- **- improper glove use was observed – staff were not washing hands properly before donning gloves. Please retrain all staff and ownership: gloves are NOT a replacement for handwashing.
- 05. Do food handlers refrain from handling food while ill and have acceptable attire and hygiene?

- 06. Are appropriate food handling practices and plans in place to ensure that food is handled in a manner that makes it safe to eat?
- ** - PHI observed far too many high-risk foods stored at room temperature in mid-use for projects – as only one person was observed in the kitchen upon entry, later 2 people. The amount of food left out would give work to at least 5 people. High risk foods must be stored in the cooler, in the freezer or in active hot holding until such time the staff is ready to process it. Do not line up tasks involving high risk foods at room temperature in preparation for processing. Please retrain staff and ownership.
- 07. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
