Inspection summary

Thanh Vu Restaurant has been inspected 2 times by Northern Health Authority since December 12, 2023. The most recent inspection, on April 22, 2025, recorded 3 infractions.

None of the 2 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Cleaning and sanitizing.

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.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 22, 2025. For example: 209 - Repeat Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

  • 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 once on April 22, 2025. For example: 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]

  • 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 April 22, 2025. For example: 202 - Critical Food not processed in a manner that makes it safe to eat [s. 14(1)]

About this data

2 inspections

  1. Routine Inspection

    3 infractions

    • 202 - Critical Food not processed in a manner that makes it safe to eat [s. 14(1)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Packaged raw meat was observed on top shelves above raw seafood and ready-to-eat food items in the freezer & refrigerator. (Public Health Significance)- Raw meat and poultry must be stored on the bottom shelf to prevent juices from contaminating lower-risk foods such as seafood, vegetables, or ready-to-eat items. These foods may be consumed raw or cooked at lower temperatures, increasing the risk of food-borne illnesses.
      • Corrective Action: Operator was asked to rearrange the food items in the freezer and refrigerator. Meat and poultry were placed on the bottom shelf, seafood was stored above them & ready-to-eat food items were placed on the top shelf to prevent cross-contamination.
    • 209 - Repeat Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
      • Observation: Containers of food were stored on the floor in the freezer, refrigerator and back storage areas. (Public Health Significance) - Food items must be stored at least 15 cm (6 in.) off the floor to prevent contamination from dust, dirt & pests. Storing food items on the floor increases the risk of cross-contamination which could lead to potential food-borne illnesses.
      • Corrective Action: Operator moved the containers on the floor in the refrigerator to a rolling cart at the time of inspection. Operator ensured that the other containers will be placed on the shelves off the floor.
    • 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Wiping cloths left on the counters and not in the sanitizing solution (chlorine-200ppm) between use. (Public Health significance) - Cloths once used can harbour and grow bacteria if left on the counters after use at room temperature.
      • Corrective Action: Store wiping cloths in a sanitizing solution of 200 ppm chlorine. The operator was asked to place the cloths in a sanitizing solution of adequate concentration
  2. Routine Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
      • Observation: Food items in the walk-in freezer in the back storage area were stored on the ground (Public Health significance) - Storage areas should have adequate shelving such that all materials, including food and food items, are maintained at a minimum of 15 cm (6 in.) off the floor on racks, shelves or pallets. Contamination of food from contact with objects, people, pests or chemicals can cause serious illness.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure all food items are placed on racks and shelves which are at least 15 cm (6 in.) off the ground to prevent contamination of food as well as to allow for cleaning.
    • 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Raw meat in one of the freezers was seen stored above ready to eat foods and produce. (Public Health significance) - Contact with and dripping fluids from raw foods can contaminate other items and lead to food borne illness.
      • Corrective Action: Operator moved the raw meat to a diifferent shelving at the time of inspection. Store raw meats below and isolated from ready to eat items and produce.
