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 August 29, 2024. For example: 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

  • 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 August 29, 2024. For example: 315 - Refrigeration units and hot holding equipment lack accurate thermometers [s. 19(2)]

  • 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 29, 2024. For example: 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 August 29, 2024. For example: 104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]

      • Corrective Action: The operator must ensure that cookies are stored separately or covered to avoid contamination.
    • 315 - Refrigeration units and hot holding equipment lack accurate thermometers [s. 19(2)]
      • Observation: Several fridges and freezers lacked thermometers. Public health significance: Installing thermometers in cold storage units allows operators to monitor temperatures and take necessary actions if the units malfunction.
      • Corrective Action: Operator to ensure all the fridges and freezers are equipped with working thermometers.
    • 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
      • Observation: Staff was observed not using the approved handwashing sink for washing hands. During the inspection, an employee mentioned that they use the wash sink of the three-compartment dishwashing sink for handwashing. Public Health Significance: Washing hands in the three-compartment sink can lead to cross-contamination from utensils placed inside it.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure the hand wash station is accessible at all times and used only as a hand wash station whenever food is being prepared. Soap and paper towel in dispensers and hot and cold running water must be provided to facilitate proper hand washing.
