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 once on October 11, 2019. For example: The heat-alterable product with the exception of whole fresh fruit and vegetables must be cooled without delay and kept constantly at an internal and ambient temperature not exceeding 4C until it is delivered to the consumer, except for the time required for the application of a manufacturing process or treatment recognized in the food industry and requiring a higher temperature.

• Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

  Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

  Recorded once on January 16, 2018. For example: The places, vehicles, equipment, materials and utensils used in preparation for packaging, storage, transport, labelling and service of products, as well as other sanitary facilities and premises, shall be clean.

• 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 once on February 3, 2020. For example: Persons engaged in the preparation of products, washing or cleaning of equipment and equipment must: wear a clean cap or net that fully covers the hair; wear a clean beard cover that fully covers the beard.
