Inspection summary
Leland on The Lake has been inspected 7 times by Interior Health Authority since January 30, 2013. The most recent inspection, on June 5, 2025, recorded 3 infractions.
3 of 7 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, Cleaning and sanitizing and Protecting food from contamination.
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 8 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 14, 2017. For example:
1 - Are proper cooking and reheating procedures followed?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 14, 2017. For example:
3 - Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
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 June 5, 2025. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
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 September 4, 2015. For example:
15 - Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?
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 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 5, 2025. For example:
3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

9 infractions
- 1 - Are proper cooking and reheating procedures followed?
- Observation(s): 1.2 Gravy is currently being prepared, cooled and kept in a cooler at which time a portion is reheated on the stove top for order, but not all of the gravy is used. This portion of gravy could be reheated repeatedly. This is an unsafe practice which could allow the growth of pathogens. All potentially hazardous foods must be rapidly reheated to 74 °C or hotter within 2 hours. The potential for growth of pathogenic bacteria is greater in reheated foods than in raw foods. This is because spoilage bacteria, which inhibit the growth of pathogens by competition on raw products, are killed during cooking. Subsequent recontamination will allow pathogens to grow without competition if temperature abuse occurs. Reheating methods: • Stove top - should be stirred throughout or midway during cooking • Microwave - should be rotated or stirred throughout or midway during cooking to compensate for uneven distribution of heat, and allowed to stand covered for a minimum of 2 minutes after cooking to obtain temperature equilibrium. Note: Food must only be reheated once - remaining product must be discarded. See the "cook-hold-serve" plan with leftovers Food Safety Plan on page 12 of the document “Writing a Food Safety Plan” . 1.3 Accurate NSF certified probe thermometer required to monitor reheating process.
- 1.2 - Potentially hazardous foods must be rapidly reheated to 74°C or hotter within 2 hours.
- 1.3 - Accurate thermometer must be available to monitor process.
- 2 - Are proper hot holding procedures followed?
- Observation(s): 2.1 Gravy on the stove top was measured at 37 °C. Gravy was reheated to 74 °C or greater on the stove top. Please store gravy in a pre-warmed hot holding unit. See information shown under section 1.2 above. 2.2 Accurate NSF certified probe thermometer required to monitor hot holding. Monitor and record temperatures daily on logs. It is good practice to monitor temperatures every 2 hours. Note: There are some template temperature logs in the back of the document “Writing a Food Safety Plan”. Ensure your hot holding unit is pre-warmed prior to putting reheated food (74 °C or hotter) in the equipment.
- 2.1 - Potentially hazardous food must be stored or displayed at 60°C or hotter.
- 2.2 - Accurate thermometers must be provided to monitor equipment.
- 3 - Are proper cooling procedures followed?
- Observation(s): 3.1 Ensure gravy and soups are cooled from 60 °C to 20 °C within 2 hours and from 20 °C to 4 °C or colder within 4 hours (for a total of 6 hours). Large food items such as roasts, turkeys and large containers of gravy, rice, chilli, soup, etc., take longer to cooler because of the mass and volume from which heat must be removed. By reducing the volume of the food in an individual container, the rate of cooling is dramatically increased and opportunity for pathogen growth is minimized. 3.2 Ensure all foods are cooled using approved cooling methods: • Cut large items into smaller portions • Use shallow storage containers • Use an ice bath • Use an ice wand Note: Always wait until food is cold before covering. 3.3 Accurate NSF certified probe thermometer required to monitor the cooling process. Check cooling methods every 2-3 months or when Food Safety Plan is first started. Note: There is a template cooling log in the back of the document “Writing a Food Safety Plan”.
- 3.1 - Potentially hazardous food must be cooled from 60°C to 20°C within 2 hours and from 20°C to 4°C within 4 hours.
- 3.2 - Potentially hazardous food must be cooled using appropriate equipment and/or approved methods.
- 3.3 - Accurate thermometer must be available to monitor process.
- 4 - Are proper refrigeration, freezing and thawing procedures followed?

Please call for service to adjust all cold holding equipment. Monitor coolers to ensure a temperature of 4 °C or colder is maintained at all times. 4.1 Opened sauces, dressings were found on the dry storage rack that state "Keep refrigerated after opening" were moved to a cooler at the time of inspection. Issue resolved. Discussed with staff member. Ensure all foods that must be kept in the cooler are kept in the cooler after opening. 4.2 Thermometer in the walk-in cooler appears to be broken (alcohol has separated) and requires replacement. Accurate NSF certified thermometer required for all cold holding equipment including freezers. 4.2 Thermometer in the prep cooler on the far wall appears to be not accurate and requires replacement. Accurate NSF certified thermometer required for all cold holding equipment including freezers. 4.2 Thermometer in the Coke cooler is not NSF certified and requires replacement. Accurate NSF certified thermometer required for all cold holding equipment including freezers. Monitor and record temperatures daily on logs. It is good practice to monitor temperatures: at opening, after any rush periods (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and at closing. Note: There are some template temperature logs in the back of the document “Writing a Food Safety Plan”. Note: It was observed that temperature logs were being kept daily at the time of inspection, but temperatures are only being recorded once daily and the temperatures recorded were greater than 4 °C. When a temperature is recorded and noted to be outside of the requirements and in the danger zone then a corrective action must be taken or food must be discarded.
