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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 24, 2016. For example:
Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
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 August 30, 2024. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
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 August 30, 2023. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
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 August 30, 2023. For example:
6 Are the foods from approved sources and has the operator taken steps to ensure that the food is safe for consumption?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded 2 times on July 14, 2015. For example:
17 - Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

- Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
- Observation(s): High temperature dishwasher is not reaching proper wash temperature which is resulting in an insufficient final plate temperature. Manual sanitizing using a bin with appropriate bleach sanitizer (100-200ppm) solution following washing through the machine is required until the machine is fixed to achieve an acceptable final plate temperature of 71°C or hotter. Allow to airdry. As discussed, this sanitizing must occur after the dishwasher even if the pre-wash contains a bleach solution. Please ensure food service volunteers are all familiar and utilizing this method in the interim. Under any instance where wash AND sanitize temperatures are not meeting the required level for the machine, this method must be utilized. Please include this aspect in your sanitation plan.
