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.

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2024. For example: Washroom(s) maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. [s. 7 (1)(c)(iii), 25]

• 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 once on June 21, 2022. For example: All Hot holding units/food items are maintained at 60°C (140°F) or hotter at all times. [s. 27(1), 30]

• 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 1, 2026. For example: All equipment, utensils, and multi-service articles used in any aspect of food preparation, handling, service, and/or sale must be suitable for the intended purpose and kept in good repair. [s. 8]

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 September 23, 2025. For example: All required records & other documentation were available at the time of inspection. [s. 29(2), 13 (2)]

• 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 once on April 2, 2024. For example: Premises free from other conditions permitting a health hazard, adversely affecting sanitary operation, or adversely affecting wholesomeness of food. [s. 7(a)]
