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.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 18, 2023. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • 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 November 2, 2017. For example: 4 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?

  • 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 once on November 3, 2016. For example: 1 - Is the food service establishment following the Informed Dining requirements (voluntary program)?

    • F3.4 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?
      • Observation(s): a) At the time of this inspection flats of frozen perishable foods and higher risk foods were left out in the back stock area due to the lack of cooler/freezer space; this has been observed during the last two inspections. Management reports that staff are constantly rotating foods through various coolers to try to minimize the time that foods are left out of cold storage; using "minimal time at room temperature" is not an accepted means of storage for foods requiring storage below 4 C (40 F). The existing coolers/freezers are not meeting the needs of this facility. Additional cooler/freezer space must be provided for this facility so that all perishable/potentially hazardous foods can be properly stored. Starbucks must review the layout of the current stock area in Store # 4691. It is recommended that the coffee cup storage be relocated to provide space for an additional cooler. Advise Interior Health what steps will be taken to ensure the proper storage of foods (Interior Health 250-851-7439).
