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 once on October 6, 2026. 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?

  • 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 June 12, 2026. For example: Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

  • 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 20, 2024. For example: Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?

6 inspections

  1. Demand Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 16. Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?
      • No - there was evidence of pest activity, including one (1) dead 'fresh' mouse in a snap trap at the corner side exit door, in the corridor away from the customer area, and there were about 20+ fruit flies in the dishwashing area (in a bucket of broken beer bottles). The operator is to ensure all doors are kept closed and monitored during deliveries.The operator is to remove the broken bottles and ensure all recycleables are properly covered in full bags or containers with tight-fitting lids, to ensure flies do not have access. Also, the operator is to discard the dead mouse from the snap trap and re-set the trap, along with washing and sanitizing the floor area. The operator is to continue with regular monthly pest control using the AHS 'monthly pest control checklist' (and to contact a licensed pest control company if the pest issues persist and/or worsen).
  2. Monitoring Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 11. Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
      • Yes (corrected during inspection) - there was 0 ppm concentration of chlorine sanitizer in the final rinse cycle of the commercial dishwasher in the main kitchen. After using the 'priming switch' for the sanitizer at the control panel (for two minutes), the chlorine sanitizer concentration was at the required minimum of 100 ppm concentration. Note that the operator and/or staff are to ensure to 'check' the chlorine sanitizer concentration at least once daily (with use of the chlorine test strips), as there may have been accumulation of air bubbles in the plastic tubing line preventing sufficient movement of chlorine sanitizer through the plastic tubing line.
