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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 16, 2025. For example: 29(3) - FAILING TO IDENTIFY CLEANING & SANITIZING AGENTS USED IN FOOD ESTABLISHMENT, INCLUDING CONCENTRATIONS & DIRECTIONS FOR USE, IN MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, & SANITATION PROGRAM.

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded once on January 27, 2025. For example: 29(2)(a) - INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, CLEANING & SANITATION PROGRAM.
