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.
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on February 27, 2019. For example:
7 Are foods protected from contamination?
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 once on August 23, 2018. For example:
5 Has the operator taken steps to ensure employees are using adequate hygiene measures to prevent contamination of food?
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 once on August 23, 2018. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
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 February 27, 2019. For example:
2 Is the premises construction and layout unchanged and in accordance with approved plans?
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 once on February 27, 2019. For example:
3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

- Observation(s): The food staff handling the food and the food equipment was wearing a ring on his hand and a bracelet on his wrist and the operator corrected it during the inspection. Before engaging in food handling activities, food handlers should remove jewelry and other objects that could fall into food or otherwise contaminate food. Jewelry may include watches, rings, earrings, medical information jewelry worn on the arms and any other types of jewelry that are not covered. Medical information jewelry can be worn as a necklace inside clothing or as an ankle bracelet. Employees must advise the operator or immediate supervisor of their specific medical condition.

Adjust the concentration as per the manufacturer's label and verify the concentration with the testing strip kit prior to the use.
