What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on September 9, 2025. For example: Equipment, utensils, multi-service articles and all food contact surfaces are properly constructed

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on September 6, 2024. For example: Food protected from contamination or adulteration

  • 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, supplies and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on May 11, 2023. For example: Food premise is protected against the entry and harbouring of pests

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Cleaning products, disinfectants and pesticides must be labelled and stored safely, away from food and from surfaces people touch. Inspectors flag chemicals that could contaminate food or harm people, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2026. For example: Toxic or poisonous substances required for maintenance in food premises are stored and handled as prescribed in the regulation

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 11, 2023. For example: Food is held at 4°C (40°F) or less
