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 July 2, 2026. For example: 302 - Critical Repeat Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]

    • 302 - Critical Repeat Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
      • Observation: Facility was using a lemon scented ammonium based disinfectant (Lysol) for disinfecting their food contact surfaces that requires a 8 minute disinfect time for effectiveness. This is not practical for a busy food establishment to leave surfaces wet for so long. (Public Health Significance): Scented products can leave a residual on surfaces that may not be food safe. Fragrances added to disinfectants may not be food safe and are to not be used.
      • Corrective Action: Prepare a 200 ppm (1 tsp (5mL) per 1 L water) bleach solution and use on food contact surfaces.
