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.

  • 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 January 23, 2026. For example: 204 - Food not cooked or reheated in a manner that makes it safe to eat [s. 14(1)]

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 July 10, 2025. For example: 212 - Operator has not provided acceptable written food handling procedures [s. 23]

About this data

These results come from Fraser Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.

  1. Routine Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 204 - Food not cooked or reheated in a manner that makes it safe to eat [s. 14(1)]
      • Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Chicken in one of the warmers was at 33 degC. Staff mentioned it was taken from the cooler and placed in the warmer directly for reheating.
