criticalCode —Food temperature

Official wording

Mechanical dishwashing: Wash / rinse water clean, water temperature, timing cycles, sanitizer

Inspector’s notes

Not in Compliance: Provide sufficient detergent or chemicals for washing or sanitizing

In plain English

Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.

minorCode —Pests

Official wording

Food premise is protected against the entry and harbouring of pests

Inspector’s notes

Not in Compliance: Contact licensed pest control operator for insect / rodent / pest treatment and control

In plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
