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.
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 September 22, 2025. For example:
6 Are the premises designed and equipped to ensure safe food handling?
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded once on February 1, 2019. For example:
1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

- F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
- Observation(s): a) The kitchen staff must have an appropriate thermometer for monitoring the dishwasher temperatures. Dishwasher temperatures should be monitored by observing both the temperatures on the machine temperature gauges, as well as monitoring the sanitizing rinse cycle temperatures (final rinse cycle) "at the rack/dish" inside the dishwasher. The "rack/dish" temperature is monitored by placing a maximum registering thermometer inside the washer. The dishwasher contractor/technician for RIH should be consulted to determine if the dishwasher is currently operating at the correct temperatures to ensure that after the water has left the manifold/pipe the water reaching the dish is still at an adequate sanitizing temperature (71 C - 74 C) for the required length of time. The temperatures of the "wash", "rinse" and "final rinse" cycles are all important in the dish surface reaching the proper sanitizing temperature. Refer to the BC Centre for Disease Control document "Commercial Dishwashing Specifications: Guideline for Mechanical Warewashing in Food Service Establishments; see page 1-2 "High Temperature Warewashing".
