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.

• PestsHigher risk

  Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

  Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on May 7, 2013. For example: The place or vehicle shall be free of contaminants, pollutants, any species of animals including insects and rodents or their excreta.

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 7, 2013. For example: The heat-alterable product with the exception of whole fresh fruit and vegetables must be cooled without delay and kept constantly at an internal and ambient temperature not exceeding 4C until it is delivered to the consumer, except for the time required for the application of a manufacturing process or treatment recognized in the food industry and requiring a higher temperature.

• Equipment and utensilsLower risk

  Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 18, 2024. For example: The following single-use items are not permitted in an establishment to be distributed on site, for transport or by delivery: tray #6, Plate #6, Container and lid #6, Cup or glass cover #6, Cup or glass cover, Stick, Straw, Ustensile #1, #2, ,3, #4, #5, #6, #7.

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 once on November 10, 2023. For example: No person may, without the consent of an authorized person, sell or offer for sale a seized or confiscated product, remove or permit the removal of that product, its container, the seizure or confiscation report, or remove or break a seal affixed by an authorized person.

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 18, 2024. For example: At the display of a retail trade, the product, its packaging or container or a sign relating to the same lot of identical products must bear an inscription indicating the origin of the product, in the case of an agricultural product that has an analogy with an agricultural product in Quebec and does not come from Quebec.
