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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on September 23, 2026. For example: 305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 24, 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 February 20, 2026. For example: 302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]

  • 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 26, 2023. For example: 306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

    • 305 - Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)]
      • Observation: Mouse activity, including droppings noted in storage area and under sink space. Mice are continuing to eat away at the rubber baseboards as staff block existing holes. Mice may also be accessing the cupboards at or around the grease trap/plumbing conduits in and out of the wall.
      • Corrective Action(s): Remove the baseboards in the corner area (or more) of the storage side of the kitchen to prevent mouse access into the kitchen as discussed. Contact Pest Control and make sure there is effective measures in place to eliminate mouse activity in the facility. Review contract at next inspection.
      • Violation Score: 9
      • 308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
      • Observation: Cabinetry below the double sinks including the cupboard doors are broken and/or deteriorated. Plywood structure (bottom) has been subject to water and possibly chemical intrusion to the point where there is a fair bit of wood flaking off. This space has become difficult to clean and maintain in a sanitary condition.
      • Corrective Action(s): Develop an action plan and submit to this office within thirty days outlining corrective action. As an interim measure I recommend the two chemical bottles get placed/stored in a bus pan or similar as discussed. This may intercept some of the liquids damaging the cabinetry. Also, this space must be dried out as part of the damage assessment and corrective action planned.
