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 May 13, 2026. For example: 205 - Critical Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]

  • 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 May 13, 2026. For example: 302 - Critical Repeat Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 3 times on May 13, 2026. For example: 104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]

2 inspections

  1. Complaint Inspection

    5 infractions

    • 104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Permit was posted in the kitchen area and cannot be seen by the public. Public Health Significance: Permit not being posted in a conspicuous location denies the public from making informed decisions about the facility and its ability to maintain required standards of sanitation and food safety.
      • Corrective Action: Operator immediately moved permit to the reception area where it is visible to the public.
    • 205 - Critical Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Potentially hazardous cold foods (cheese, milk, eggs) were stored in the kitchen fridge at a temperature of 6.8°C. Public Health significance: All potentially hazardous foods must be stored at below 4°C or above 60°C - out of the danger zone to prevent bacterial growth and possibly food borne illness when such foods are consumed.
      • Corrective Action: Operator moved food items into the walk-in cooler that maintains a temperature of 2.5°C. Kitchen fridge unit to be monitored or have serviced, as required.
    • 212 - Operator has not provided acceptable written food handling procedures [s. 23]
      • Observation: No written food safety plan available at the time of inspection. Public Health Significance: The absence of a food safety plan on-site indicates a lack of proactive, documented control over hazards that can lead to foodborne illness if such foods are consumed.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure there is a written food safety plan available at all times in the premises.
    • 302 - Critical Repeat Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Sanitizing rinse temperature (54.5°C) of the high temperature dishwasher was less than 71°C. Public Health significance: High Temperature Automatic dish washers must provide a sanitizing rinse at 71°C or more to sanitize dishware, thermally inactivate pathogens, and prevent foodborne illness if food is consumed using such dishwares.
      • Corrective Action: Operator to make use of the 3-compartment sink following the proper steps (scrape, wash, rinse, sanitize and air dry), using Final Rinse Concentrate solution as a sanitizing solution for dishwares following the manufacturer's instructions as noted in the sanitization section. Operator to have the dishwasher repaired by a qualified technician, monitor and log the rinse temperature regularly to know when the unit needs adjustment or repair.
    • 314 - Operator has not provided acceptable written sanitation procedures [s. 24]
      • Observation: No written sanitation plan available at the time of inspection. Public Health Significance: Sanitation plan not being present indicates the lack of documented, standardized, and verifiable procedures for cleaning and sanitizing, which are essential to prevent foodborne illness, reduce microbial pathogens, and ensure the safety of food consumed by the public.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure there is a sanitation plan available at all time in the premises.
