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.

• 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example: The place or vehicle shall be free of contaminants, pollutants, any species of animals including insects and rodents or their excreta.

• 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 June 28, 2019. For example: A retailer who, even occasionally, wholesales to a restaurant operator shall not hold or use meat or meat products for any purpose unless, upon entry into the restaurant, they bear the stamp prescribed and affixed in accordance with section 6.5.2.6 or are placed in a package bearing the stamp or a label or decal reproducing the stamp.

• 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 October 7, 2019. For example: The heat-alterable product with the exception of whole fresh fruit and vegetables must be cooled without delay and kept constantly at an internal and ambient temperature not exceeding 4C until it is delivered to the consumer, except for the time required for the application of a manufacturing process or treatment recognized in the food industry and requiring a higher temperature.

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

  Recorded once on October 7, 2019. For example: In a place or vehicle, unpackaged products must be placed in containers or containers other than fresh fruit and vegetables when harvested. The place shall be equipped with storage supports on which containers or containers of products shall be stored so as not to come into contact with the floor. Storage supports shall be at a minimum floor height of 10 cm in the case of fixed supports and 8 cm in the case of removable supports.

• 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 once on August 22, 2018. For example: Persons engaged in the preparation of products, washing or cleaning of equipment and equipment must: wear a clean cap or net that fully covers the hair; wear a clean beard cover that fully covers the beard.
