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 once on February 19, 2025. For example: Is all food in this facility fit for human consumption and not unwholesome, spoiled, or adulterated?

  • 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 February 19, 2025. For example: Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

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

    Recorded once on October 15, 2024. For example: Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?

      • Dented can of ketchup stored in the preparation room.Canned foods should not be kept once they are damaged or dented to avoid the growth of foodborne botulism and its toxins. Inspect canned food regularly and prior to use and discard if damaged/dented. The operator discarded the canned ketchup at the time of the inspection.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • Raw chicken stored on the bottom shelf of the preparation room at room temperature and measured 12C. The operator was working on a different tray at the time. High risk foods should not be stored at room temperature as this allows bacteria to grow. Take out one tray at a time to ensure raw chicken are not stored at room temperature for long periods. The operator placed the raw chicken in the cooler at the time of the inspection.
