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.

  • 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 on September 10, 2025. For example: 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]

  • 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 September 10, 2025. For example: 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

    Recorded once on September 10, 2025. For example: 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]

2 inspections

  1. Routine Inspection

    4 infractions

    • 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
      • Observation: Meats were stored above ready to eat vegetables in the walk-in freezer. Storing ready-to-eat vegetables/safer foods below meats may increase the risk of cross-contamination which may lead to foodborne illness.
      • Corrective Action: Operator of a commercial food establishment must store food in a manner that prevents cross contamination and makes food safe to eat.
    • 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Reusable cleaning/wiping cloths were not stored inside a sanitizer solution when not in use. This may allow surviving bacteria to grow which may lead to contamination of food contact surfaces.
      • Corrective Action: Operator must ensure that when not in use, all cleaning/wiping cloths are kept inside a sanitizer solution of appropriate concentration. Staff corrected the deficiency during the inspection by keeping the cleaning cloth inside the sanitizer solution.
    • 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) A knife with plastic handle that was not in good repair was found in the kitchen drawers. The plastic handle was peeling off and plastic particles could be seen in the drawer. Continuous use of the knife with peeling plastic particles could potentially lead to physical contamination of food.
      • Corrective Action: Operator of a commercial food establishment must remove any items/utensils that are not in good repair to prevent contamination of food and food items. Operator disposed the knife during the inspection.
    • 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) A bottle of Quats sanitizer was observed on top of a shelf containing clean utensils. Improper storage of chemicals may lead to chemical contamination of food and food contact surfaces.
      • Corrective Action: Food establishment operator must ensure that non-food agents such as sanitizers, cleaners and similar agents are stored in a separate place to minimize chemical contamination of food and food contact surfaces. Staff removed the Quats container and stored it with other chemicals in a separate place from food contact areas.
