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 once on April 17, 2023. For example:
308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk
Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.
Recorded once on April 17, 2023. For example:
309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 April 17, 2023. For example:
104 - Repeat Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]

- Observation: A valid operating permit was not posted in a conspicuous location at the time of the inspection.
- Corrective Action: Valid permit must be available and posted in a location viewable to the public.
- 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
- Observation: A standup cooler located beside a chemical storage rack was observed without a door. Food items such as sourkret, which require refrigeration after opening, were observed to be stored inside the cooler. The temperature inside the cooler was recorded to be at 5°C.
- Corrective Action: The sourkret was transferred by the operator to a functional refrigerator that maintains a temperature of 4°C or lower. Until the stand up cooler door is repaired, all potentially hazardous foods must be relocated to a working refrigerator that can also maintain a temperature at or below 4°C.
- 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]
- Observation: There was an unlabelled spray bottle in the chemical storage area and when questioned the operator was not sure of its contents and mentioned it was filled by an employee.
- Corrective Action: Unlabelled spray bottles may lead to misuse of the chemical, cross contaminate and may lead to ineffective cleaning and sanitation of the food contact surfaces. The Operator was told to label the spray bottles to easily identify the contents inside.
