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.

  • 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 once on July 22, 2026. For example: 401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]

  • 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 July 22, 2026. For example: 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

    0 infractions

  2. Routine Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
      • Observation: The hand sink was blocked by a tray rack fitted right onto the sink, and employees have been using the dish sink to wash their hands. The rack was added yesterday. Employees require a designated hand sink for only hand washing.
      • Corrective Action(s): Remove the rack so employees are able to use the sink for hand washing. Do not block the hand sink. Date to be corrected: July 22, 2026
      • Violation Score: 5
    • 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
      • Observation: 1. The spoons and ladles for the hot holding and the cooked rice were being stored in room temperature water that was cloudy. Keeping these utensils at room temperature allows pathogens to grow and potentially cause illness.
      • 2. The ice machine has mold accumulation above the flaps, and food debris along the inner sides of the machine. The mold and debris can contaminate the ice.
      • Corrective Action(s): 1. The utensils were washed and sanitized, and are now stored in ice water. Ensure that the entire scoop of each utensil is covered in the ice. Once the ice melts, change the water and add more ice.
      • 2. Clean the inside of the ice machine to remove any mold or food debris. Date to be corrected: July 22, 2026
      • Violation Score: 9
      • 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
      • Observation: The handles and surfaces of equipment (ex: coolers, freezers, 3 compartment sink)are greasy and have food debris on them.
