2 of 6 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 4 inspections with 13 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens and Protecting food from contamination.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for clients. In personal service settings like salons, spas and tattoo studios, higher-risk findings are the ones that could spread infection from one client to the next, through broken skin, blood or instruments that were not properly cleaned and sterilized.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Products used on clients must come from approved sources, stay in their original labelled containers and be thrown out when they are expired or contaminated. Unlabelled products make it impossible to know what a client is being exposed to.

    Recorded 2 times on February 26, 2026. For example: All single-use equipment is discarded immediately after use.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    Clean and used instruments, towels and supplies must be kept apart, and products such as wax, creams and inks must be dispensed so they cannot be contaminated between clients (no double-dipping). Mixing clean and dirty items is a direct route for infection.

    Recorded once on February 26, 2026. For example: All products used for a service are stored and dispensed in a manner that prevents contamination.

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Instruments, chairs, tables and footbaths must be made of materials that can be cleaned, kept in good repair and stored so they stay clean. Single-use items such as nail files, buffers, razors and needles must be thrown away after each client.

    Recorded 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 26, 2026. For example: The setting and surfaces are clean and in good repair.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    The premises needs a working hand sink, a separate sink for cleaning instruments where required, cleanable surfaces, and good lighting and ventilation. Upkeep problems are usually lower risk on their own, but they make thorough cleaning harder.

    Recorded once on February 26, 2026. For example: Written notice to Ottawa Public Health is required 14 days prior for new operations, additional services, renovations, or construction.

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Some jurisdictions require operators to complete infection-prevention training, or to hold specific qualifications for higher-risk services such as tattooing, piercing or electrolysis. These findings mean the training record was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean a client was put at risk.

    Recorded once on February 26, 2026. For example: Operator obtains the name and contact information of any person seeking a service.
