What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2026. For example: Tobacco retail authorization license posted in a conspicuous place

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 9 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2026. For example: Information Sheet

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2026. For example: Municipal business license posted in a conspicuous place

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

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

    Recorded once on September 13, 2023. For example: A retailer who sells restricted e-substances from a sales premises to which minors are permitted access must not sell a flavoured restricted e-substance. [ESR Section 7(1)]

  • 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 11 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2026. For example: A retailer must not sell a vapour product cartridge of greater than 2 mL capacity [ESR Section 6(2)(b)]
