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 once on June 23, 2026. For example: 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on June 23, 2026. For example: 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]

  • 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 once on October 5, 2023. For example: 205 - Critical Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]

About this data

These results come from Northern Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.

2 inspections

  1. Routine Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Scoops were left inside the food container, with the handle in direct contact with the flour. (Public Health significance) - Scoop handles must be kept out of the food product to prevent hand contact and reduce the risk of contamination.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure that the scoops are protected from contamination and from cross-contmainating the food product
    • 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) The only handwashing station in the food preparation area was partially inaccessible.(Public Health Significance) Hand washing is an important practice to ensure food are protected from cross contamination from other previously handled foods or contact surfaces.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure the hand wash station is accessible at all times and used only as a hand wash station whenever food is being prepared. Soap and paper towel in dispensers and hot and cold running water must be provided to facilitate proper hand washing.
  2. Routine Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 205 - Critical Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Potentially hazardous cold foods are stored at above 4°C. Noodles for chicken noodle soup were observed cooked and at 22*C on the counter. When asked how long noodles were out on the counter, i was informed for around 2 hours. (Public Health significance) - All potentially hazardous foods must be stored at below 4°C or above 60°C - out of the danger zone to prevent bacterial growth and possibly food borne illness
      • Corrective Action: Discard noodles immediately. Do not store cooked noodles at room temperature as there is a risk of bacillus cereus toxin production. This toxin is heat stable meaning it will not be killed with subsequent heating. This could lead to severe food borne illness and even death.
