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 2 times on September 11, 2024. For example:
Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.
Recorded once on September 11, 2024. For example:
Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
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 February 2, 2026. For example:
Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this food facility (Non-Critical)?

- The inside of the walk in cooler needs to be cleaned i.e. around the fans.The interior of the walk-in freezer requires defrosting. A significant buildup of ice was noticed beneath the fan. I'm not certain if you can use a hose to direct the excess water into a bucket; I've seen a similar method used in freezers previously, and it seems to be effective.The kitchen space is currently underutilized; none of the prep line and equipment are in use. However, I observed grease lines down the tiles (I don't recall seeing this before and wonder what is causing this), and storage is taking place on top of the cooking equipment that is not in use. This area requires organization and cleaning, and nothing should be placed on top of the stoves, regardless of whether they are in use or not.
