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.

- 315 - Refrigeration units and hot holding equipment lack accurate thermometers [s. 19(2)]
- Observation: No accurate indicating thermometers were observed within the cold-holding refrigeration equipment during time of inspection. Internal accurate indicating thermometers ensure appropriate cold-holding temperatures of 4C in fridges and -18C in freezers, are maintained to reduce the growth of pathogenic bacteria in potentially hazardous food and reduce the risk of contamination which can result in foodborne illness.
- Corrective Action: Operator is to purchase and install accurate indicating thermometers in all cold-holding refrigeration equipment to ensure proper cold-holding storage temperatures of potentially hazardous food products within the premise.
