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.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 23, 2023. For example: 304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]

  • 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 November 1, 2024. For example: 206 - Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]

  • 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 October 3, 2022. For example: 209 - 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 August 26, 2019. For example: 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded once on January 28, 2020. For example: 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

  12. Routine Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]
      • Observation:
      • Found drain fly problem in the premises, especially in the back food preparation area. Supervisor explained that Orkin has been contracted to eliminate the pest, blue lights and fly paper present in premises. Flies can transfer germs to food and/or could fall into food.
      • Corrective Action(s):

      • 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
      • Observation:
      • General sanitation level is adequate, but food debris and pooling water found underneath and behind equipment; on pipes and walls beneath sinks; on legs of tables or equipment; and on the undersides of tables, equipment, shelves, and sinks. This will attract and breed pests (flies, cockroaches, etc.).

      • Detailed cleaning of the premises is needed on a daily basis to remove food debris. Review the proper method to cleaning all surfaces with staff. Soap MUST be used to remove food debris and sanitizer MUST be used to kill germs. Sanitizer isn't a degreaser and will NOT remove food debris. Provide extra time for staff to clean these areas, or have one staff member only complete the detailed cleaning during their shift.

      • Violation Score: 3
      • 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]

      • 2) The upright fridge, storing the bottled drinks (by walk-in-freezer #1), has pooling water underneath it. This will attract and breed pests.
      • Corrective Action(s):
      • 1) Replace the broken door gasket on the walk-in-freezer #1 door to stop cold air escaping and mixing with warm air, causing the ice to build up around the door.
      • **Correction date: Jan. 1/19**
      • 2) Mop up the pooling water and have the upright fridge serviced to determine where the pooling water is coming from.
