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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 22, 2023. For example: The place or vehicle shall be free of contaminants, pollutants, any species of animals including insects and rodents or their excreta.

• Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

  Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 14, 2019. For example: In a premises, an area or vehicle used for the preparation of the products no one can use tobacco.

• 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 November 22, 2023. 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.

• 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 October 7, 2022. 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.
