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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 28, 2026. For example: Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 28, 2026. For example: Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?

  • 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 May 7, 2025. For example: Are chemicals stored and handled in a safe manner?

  • 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 12 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on April 30, 2026. For example: Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 1, 2025. For example: Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

Investigate the cause of the grease accumulation, as it's unexpected to that this amount of grease in a non-cooking area.
  2. Monitoring Inspection

    3 infractions

    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
      • Several pails containing 'Sink and Surface' sanitizer did not have a detectable concentration. This is likely due to their use - these pails were used to hold tongs and rags, which would quickly deplete the concentration.This concern was corrected after the solutions were replenished.REQUIREMENT: Ensure that sanitizer solutions are changed more frequently if subjected to heavy amounts of organic contamination.
    • 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
      • An assortment of cooked foods (e.g. meat skewers, cooked vegetables) were not being sufficiently held at hot-holding temperature. Probed temperatures of the foods ranged between 28 and 44C. The hot holding system is a heat lamp and metal hot plate. The facility had used platters on the hot plate, which prevented proper heat transfer to the food. Additionally, foods were stacked on top of each other and not in contact with the heat lamp. Corrective actions were taken, and foods quickly became hotter internally.REQUIREMENT: Hot held food must be maintained at or above 60 C.
