Inspection summary

Twisted Cup has been inspected 3 times by Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change (Food Safety Program) since November 2, 2024. The most recent inspection, on April 27, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 6 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct food-handling risks.

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.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 27, 2026. For example: 89 A food establishment must be constructed and maintained in such a manner that no condition exists that is injurious to human health or that, in the opinion of an administrator, is potentially injurious to human health.

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 27, 2026. For example: 94 No person shall hinder or obstruct an administrator or an inspector in the performance of that person's duties, provide an administrator or an inspector with false information or refuse to provide an administrator or an inspector with information required for the purpose of this Part and the regulations.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 2 times on April 25, 2026. For example: 37(1) If directed by an inspector, a food establishment must maintain records that demonstrate the quality assurance system used to ensure food safety in the processing or preparation of a food.
