Inspection summary

Panago Pizza has been inspected 4 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 30, 2023. The most recent inspection, on April 21, 2025, found no infractions.

2 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Protecting food from contamination and Food temperature control.

The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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 June 24, 2024. For example: Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?

  • 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 June 24, 2024. For example: Is all food in this facility fit for human consumption and not unwholesome, spoiled, or adulterated?

  • 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 June 24, 2024. For example: Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

  • 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 once on June 24, 2024. For example: Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 3 times on June 24, 2024. For example: Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

      • The sanitizer spray bottles with Quat sanitizer concentration was measured between 0ppm and 50ppm.Staff discarded the solution and re-filled it (measured at the concentration of 200 ppm).Discussed regularly checking the sanitizer concentration to ensure that surfaces and equipment are properly sanitized.
    • 07. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
      • The top of the line coolers had been left open and the temperatures were 8C to 10C.Staff was instructed to close the cooler lids to decrease the temperature. After the cooler lids were closed the temperature went back down to 4C.Make sure that when staff are not actively getting product from the cooler the lids should be closed to protect the food from contamination and to help maintain safe temperatures.
    • 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
      • Scoops used for dispensing flour were stored inside the containers in contact with flour.Make sure that scoops used for food handling are stored appropriately with handles out of the product to avoid cross contamination.
    • 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
      • Scoops used for cheese in the prep cooler either had no handles or handles in contact with cheese.Make sure that scoops used for food handling are stored appropriately with handles out of the product to avoid cross contamination.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • A large quantity of cheese was observed to be left out at the room temperature.Pesto sauce was also observed on the kitchen counter to be refregirated.Discussed with operator appropriate storage temperature for perishable products to ensure food safety.Store cheese inside the cooler at 4 degrees C or below.
