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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 23, 2026. For example:
308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2024. For example:
305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
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 April 9, 2026. For example:
205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]

- 305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
- Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): **Repeated violation** Window in the washroom was opened during the inspection and no window screen was installed at the window. Same issue was noted during the last routine inspection.
- Corrective Action(s): Staff closed the window as soon as this was pointed out.
- Operator must either install a window screen to prevent the entrance of pests or ensure that the staff keeps this window close at all time.
- Violation Score: 3
- 311 - Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]
- Observation: As per staff, the drain plugs that the operator purchased during the last routine inspection did not work out for the 3-compartment sink for this facility, therefore they do not have a drain plug that fits. However, there was a sanitize container set-up, with 200 PPM chlorine residual, in the last sink compartment.
- Corrective Action(s): The sanitize container is inadequate as it does not fit the largest food contact item at the facility (e.g. cutting board). The facility has been approved based on having the proper 3-compartment sink and drain plugs installed and available for performing manual warewashing, however this is not being practiced as approved. Operator MUST obtain proper fitting drain plugs for the 3-compartment sink so all food contact items can be properly washed and submerged in a food grade sanitizer after the washing and rinsing steps.
- This must be addressed by the operator by next week or escalated enforcement actions may ensue.
