Inspection summary

Royal Canadian Legion Branch #98 has been inspected 10 times by Interior Health Authority since August 14, 2013. The most recent inspection, on September 10, 2026, recorded 6 infractions.

4 of 10 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 6 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Cleaning and sanitizing and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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.

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 10, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • 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 September 10, 2026. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • 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 September 10, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on September 10, 2026. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • 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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 10, 2026. For example: 1 Does the operator have a valid operating permit or approval to operate?

  8. Monitoring

    3 infractions

    • 8 - Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): Bleach onsite in bleach bottle - ensure when kitchen is operating that a 100ppm(1 tsp bleach to 1L water) bleach solution is made for storing wiping cloths in continuous use and/or having a spray bottle for sanitizing food contact surfaces. Will email "Food contact surfaces must be cleaned and sanitized" poster. Ice scoop for the bar area: scoop was noted to be stored on a cloth towel. A cloth towel is porous can get contaminated and contaminate the scoop if stored on there. Discussed with food handler at the time that the scoop should be stored in a container that can be washed and sanitized in the glass washer at the end of the night. This was corrected at time of inspection. Bar glass washer: had no Chlorine in the rinse cycle - have the glass washer serviced and in the interim the the glasses can be washed/rinsed there however, will require manual disinfection in a sink beside the bar glasswasher. Ensure dishes are sanitized in a bleach solution(100ppm - 1 cap bleach to 1L water) for at least 2 minutes and then air dried. Discussed that more Chlorine test papers will need to be ordered as they are out currently and to use that to test the concentration daily for the glass washer as there has been problems with it the past few inspections.
      • 8.2 - Mechanical glasswasher must provide sufficient washing and sanitizing action to remove contamination.
      • 8.7 - Equipment, utensils and food contact surfaces must be cleaned and sanitized in a manner that removes contamination.
    • 13 - Is the premises construction and layout unchanged and in accordance with approved plans?
      • Observation(s): A three compartment sink was installed without approval from Interior Health - the concern is that the 2nd compartment sink in the middle is very small and would be difficult to rinse off dishes. Please note that either the dishes would have to be run under hot running water to rinse off dishes in the "rinse" step or would have to be immersed in the one of the two compartments in the adjacent two compartment sink. Will email poster for the three compartment sink method. At the time of the inspection, it was advised that kitchen renovations are being planned after July 25, 2015 which may include a dishwasher. Will connect with the president to re-iterate the requirements for a dishwasher. Please note that I will require a layout of the planned changes for the renovations.
      • 13.1 - Changes to the premises must only be made with approval of plans and specifications by the health officer.
    • 14 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?
