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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 20, 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 once on August 19, 2025. For example: Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?

About this data

  2. Risk Management Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • QUAT sanitizer bottle did not contain any measurable QUAT solution. Operator went and refreshed the bottle in the main kitchens and it was measured to be >200 ppm. It was discussed with the operator that this was the second time this has happened and that they need to check their dispensing system in the kitchen to ensure that it is dispensing the appropriate concentrations.
  3. Demand Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • The operator had a bottle of QUAT solution but there was no QUAT concentration noted when the solution was tested. Operator brought out a new solution from the exhibition kitchens which contained >200 ppm.
    • 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
      • A camp jug of water with a spigot was noted at the edge of the booth. The camp jug was sitting up because it was leaking. There was no soap noted at the station, however, when this was pointed out, soap was brought to the booth immediately. While this setup would typically be acceptable for a short-duration event, it does not meet the requirements for events lasting longer than three days, which require plumbed-in sinks with hot and cold running water.Operator was asked to bring in a footpump handwash station (these units are available at the event) to replace the leaking camp jug. Given that the event organizer mistakenly approved temporary food vendors without ensuring infrastructure requirements were met, Alberta Health Services is allowing this setup for this event only. The vendor and event organized has been advised that this arrangement will not be acceptable at future multi-day events.
  4. Demand Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • There was no sanitizer available at the start of the event.However, this was very quickly addressed.
