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 once on February 12, 2026. For example: 19(1)(d) - FAILING TO LOCATE, DESIGN, CONSTRUCT, & MAINTAIN FOOD ESTABLISHMENT TO ENSURE DESIGN & LAYOUT ALLOW FOR MOVEMENT OF FOOD & PERSONNEL IN A MANNER THAT PREVENTS CONTAMINATION.

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 12, 2026. For example: 29(2)(a) - INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, & SANITATION PROGRAM.
