What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2025. For example:
Tobacco retail authorization license posted in a conspicuous place
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.
Recorded 10 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2025. For example:
Information Sheet
Permits, records and postingLower risk

Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2025. For example:
Municipal business license posted in a conspicuous place
