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.
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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 11, 2024. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
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 August 28, 2025. For example:
Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
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 December 11, 2024. For example:
Is all food in this facility fit for human consumption and not unwholesome, spoiled, or adulterated?
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.
Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on December 9, 2025. For example:
Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 16, 2026. For example:
Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?

- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- The 'meat' prep cooler by the walk-in cooler measured -1C on the bottom but 7C on the top. PHI probed food and left a probe in the top of the cooler for several minutes. Food was probed at 5-6C. Operator attempted to rearrange the trays to facilitate air flow - this did not appear to increase the temperature. Owner noted that she will have a technician come out within a few hours. Please contact me when the prep cooler has been adjusted.

- 1) Crock pot with au jus and cooked burger patties was measured at 51C (ambient) and 54C (probe). This had been heated to 74C and hot held within the last hour. Operator increased the crock pot setting to LOW from WARM - new temperature measured over 60C.Discussed with operators the significance of hot holding over 60C. Owner plans to replace this hot holding unit. Please ensure that the hot holding is maintained above 60C.2) The steam table for hot holding gravy, au jus, cooked taco ground beef, etc. was measured at 56C with a probe thermometer. All food products had been reheated to 74C and hot held within the last hour. After increasing the table from 190F to 200F, the temperature of everything except the beef had increased over 60C. The beef was dispersed into smaller portions and water was added to the steam table to increase the temperature. PHI measured the ground been above 60C after making these adjustments.Please ensure that hot holding is maintained above 60C. Often, smaller portions can help to heat dense food more evenly.
