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 May 5, 2026. For example: 301 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

    Recorded once on May 5, 2026. For example: 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]

  • 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 May 5, 2026. For example: 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]

  1. Routine Inspection

    3 infractions

    • 301 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
      • Observation: Excess dishwasher detergent noted around the clean side of the dishwasher at time of inspection.(Public Health Significance): Surfaces in unsanitary conditions provides pests, such as mice, ample supply of food and places to hide in the facility. Pests carry diseases that can cause serious illness.

    • 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]
      • Observation: Unidentified yellow liquid stored in a spray bottle without a proper lid. (Public Health Significance): Having unlabelled bottles in the kitchen could inadvertently allow for the chemicals to end up in food for human consumption. Unlabelled chemicals can be used for purposes other than their intended ones and therefore can lead to illness or injury.
      • Corrective Action: Provide a clear label of what is present in the bottle.
    • 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
      • Observation: Inadequate facilities provided for hand washing. No paper towel observed at the handwashing sink. (Public Health Significance) Hand washing is an important practice to ensure food are protected from cross contamination from other previously handled foods or contact surfaces.
      • 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.
