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 across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 24, 2026. 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 August 26, 2025. For example: 105 - Remote Inspection

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

    1 infraction

    • 302 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
      • Observation: No active sanitizer detected in sanitizer containers or spray bottles. Operator was using an orange cleaner solution instead of an approved sanitizer for food contact surfaces at time of inspection. (Public Health Significance) Sanitizing solutions must be strong enough to destroy bacteria on surfaces to prevent the contamination of staff, clients or food on contact with the improperly cleaned surface.
      • Corrective Action: Change sanitizing solutions as required to always maintain an effective concentration (200 ppm unscented bleach). Use a sanitizer instead of just a cleaner solution for all food contact surfaces.
  2. Initial Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 105 - Remote Inspection
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) A remote inspection of this premises was conducted by phone on 26-Aug- 25. The operator completed a Food Premises Self-inspection Checklist and submitted this along with any requested supporting documents to the Environmental Health Officer. An on-site inspection was not conducted by the Environmental Health Officer.
      • Corrective Action: N/A
    • 307 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not of suitable design/material [s. 16; s. 19]
      • Observation: Surfaces are not sufficiently sealed or durable to facilitate regular cleaning and sanitizing. Bare plywood walls were noted throughout the facility. (Public Health Significance): Materials like raw wood will absorb juices and harbour and allow disease causing bacteria to grow. Proper materials and finishing is required to ensure adequate cleaning and sanitizing.
      • Corrective Action: Refinish surfaces to provide a durable easy to clean surface.
