What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
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 once on May 3, 2016. For example:
All equipment, food contact surfaces, utensils, dishes & glasses used on the premises are washed and sanitized in a manner that removes contamination.
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 once on November 3, 2015. For example:
The premises is free of pests.

I have been enjoying the chocolates from Living Lotus for a while now! Always taste so good and are the prettiest chocolate too! I love the chocolate so much, I had to get the chocolate subscription so I never miss out! And the creme eggs for Easter are a fave too!

I have been a customer a few years now and truly love their products. Amazing chocolate and more. Totally recommended if you are looking for a serious chocolate experience. The limited Dark Cherry has become a tradition along with the most amazing Advent Calendar in that season but yummy chocolate all year around. Check out the zero waste stars.

Audrey delivered a wonderful Chocolate Tasting workshop. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience supporting small, ethically sourced Cacao farmers. I have a new understanding of how to use all 5 senses when experiencing chocolate. Audrey's bean to bar chocolates, that I have found at various Farmer's Market, are rich in flavour and texture. Thank you Audrey for teaching me a new skill!

What a lovely experience it was to learn about chocolate while discovering my pallet from bean to bar. Audrey’s knowledge is vast and gives context into subtle differences in tastes that each bar has.
