What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

• Food temperature controlHigher risk

  Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example: Food is held at 4°C (40°F) or less

• Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

  Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 23, 2025. For example: Equipment, utensils, multi-service articles and all food contact surfaces are properly constructed and maintained

• Food safety training and certificationLower risk

  Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example: Certified food handler present in the food service premise

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 2, 2026. For example: Cloths and towels maintained in clean, good repair and not used for other purposes
