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.

  • 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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on May 29, 2025. For example: 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]

  • 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 July 28, 2017. For example: 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

  • 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 once on May 26, 2022. For example: 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

    • 301 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
      • Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): "Sanitize" sink had soapy water in it, no detectable sanitizer.
      • Discussed dishwashing procedure with staff, and there was some confusion as to which sinks were used for what.
      • Fruit cutting program added to confusion; fruit cutting is done in the deli and uses one compartment of the sink for washing fruit. The center compartment appears to be used for washing fruit which adds to the confusion; washing is done one one side and then transferred over the middle sink to the sanitizer. This could contaminate the fruit.
      • In addition, the presence of fruit prep in the deli tends to delay dishwashing until "after the produce people leave at 4 pm." This is not acceptable.
      • Recommend moving the fruit cutting back to the produce area. Knives can be washed in the deli as per the 3 compartment method; OR use the commercial dishwasher near produce.
      • Fruit cutting may be done in the deli but but dishwashing sinks should not be used for fruit washing. Several options discussed.
      • Corrective Action(s):
      • Violation Score: 5
