Inspection summary

Pineapple Hall has been inspected 3 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since October 4, 2024. The most recent inspection, on March 26, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 4 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing and Food temperature control.

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 once on March 26, 2026. For example: Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?

  • 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 March 26, 2026. For example: Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

  • 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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 26, 2026. For example: Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?

  1. Monitoring Inspection

    4 infractions

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • 1. The concentration of quat sanitizer solution in spray bottles were measured to be less than 100 ppm.- The sanitizer solutions in the spray bottles were replaced and verified at 200 ppm.Ensure to change the solution at adequate intervals and verify the concentration of the quat sanitizer at 200 ppm with test strips. Low concentrations of sanitizer solutions are ineffective in killing microorganisms. 2. Cleaning cloths were observed on food contact surfaces throughout the facility (including the cafe) with no sanitizer residue detected in them/in buckets of sanitizing solution. - Ensure cleaning cloths are submerged in buckets of sanitizer solution at the correct concentration between use or have adequate sanitizing solution residue in them at all times during food processing to kill harmful microbes.
    • 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
      • 1. In the walk-in cooler, raw eggs were observed to be stored above cheese and bun.Ensure not to store raw eggs above or in close proximity to cheese or ready-to-eat food items, always separate and store away from and below these food items to prevent potential cross-contamination.2. A scoop was noted to be placed inside a container of dry dredge on a storage shelf.- Ensure that scoops are stored in such a manner that the handles do not come in contact with food items.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • Vegetable tempura placed under heat lamp were measured with temperatures ranging between 47 and 52.7 degrees Celsius.Ensure all perishable foods are maintained at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius or less or greater than 60 degrees Celsius. Elevate the food items for adequate heat transfer or obtain a hot-holding unit that can maintain the required temperature.
    • 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
      • The handwashing sinks in the kitchen were observed to be used for other purposes and with various items such as sachets of sauce container, kitchen scale, dish sponges.- Designate handwashing sinks strictly for the purpose of washing hands and ensure they are clean, clear and accessible at all times during operation to facilitate hand hygiene.
  2. Monitoring Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
      • Inserts used as a scoop and stored inside the bulk containers for tapioca, flour, and tempura flour.Replace the inserts with a scoop that has a handle and store scoops in a separate area or with the handle upright to avoid contamination of the food. The operator removed the inserts from the bulk containers at the time of the inspection.
