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 source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

  Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

  Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on October 17, 2022. For example: The places, vehicles, equipment, materials and utensils used in preparation for packaging, storage, transport, labelling and service of products, as well as other sanitary facilities and premises, shall be clean.

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 5, 2019. For example: The perishable product sold hot or served hot to the consumer must be kept at an internal temperature of at least 60C until delivered.

• 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 August 20, 2025. For example: The surfaces of equipment, equipment, utensils and containers which come into direct contact with the products, except for whole fresh fruit and vegetables which are not the subject of preparation, must be made of a material: 1° which cannot be corroded; resistant to washing, cleaning or disinfection; 3° non-toxic and not in state or in putrefaction; 4° non-absorbent and waterproof; 5° unalterable by the products and manufactured so as not to alter the products. These surfaces shall be free of detachable particles, ash or cracks.

• 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 August 30, 2022. For example: The place or vehicle shall be free of contaminants, pollutants, any species of animals including insects and rodents or their excreta.

• Equipment and utensilsLower risk

  Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 20, 2025. For example: The following single-use items are not permitted in an establishment to be distributed on site, for transport or by delivery: tray #6, Plate #6, Container and lid #6, Cup or glass cover #6, Cup or glass cover, Stick, Straw, Ustensile #1, #2, ,3, #4, #5, #6, #7.
