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.

  • 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 June 3, 2026. For example: Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 2 times on June 3, 2026. For example: Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

  • 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 June 3, 2026. For example: Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?

      • Items not related to food storage, including shelving materials, were observed stored in the walk-in freezer. Walk-in coolers and freezers must be used for the storage of food and food-related items only. Remove all non-food-related items and maintain the area in a manner that prevents contamination and facilitates effective cleaning and organization.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • The temperature of the walk-in freezer was noted to be -16 degrees C.Ensure the temperature is less than -18 degrees C.
    • 23. Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?
      • The floors of both the walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer were observed to be dirty and in an insanitary condition. Accumulated food debris and spills were present on the floor surfaces, resulting in a sticky residue that caused footwear to adhere to the floor while walking. Floors must be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition and cleaned at a frequency sufficient to prevent the accumulation of food debris, residues, and other contaminants.
