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.

  • 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 April 9, 2025. 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 June 22, 2023. For example: 315 - Refrigeration units and hot holding equipment lack accurate thermometers [s. 19(2)]

  • 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 once on June 22, 2023. For example: 104 - Permit not posted in a conspicuous location [s. 8(7)]

    • 315 - Refrigeration units and hot holding equipment lack accurate thermometers [s. 19(2)]
      • Observation: Refrigerators are missing thermometers. Consistent temperature log is crucial in determining weather potentially hazardous food has been left in the danger zone (between 4 degree Celsius to 60 degree Celsius) for more than 2 hours. It can also ensure that any abnormality of refrigeration units will be caught early before any major issues occur.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure all refrigerating units in the premise are equipped with a working thermometer. The operator was also instructed to ensure a temperature log is available and maintain consistency recording the temperatures twice daily
