203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Teriyaki meats not cooled properly.
Corrective Action(s): Staff placed cooked teriyaki meats, which had been cooling on the kitchen counter into the walk in cooler upon commencement of the inspection. The internal temperatures of the cooked foods (two pans of chicken teriyaki and one pan of beef teriyaki) were 40.3 to 51.1 degrees Celsius. The volume of cooked beef in the pan was too much to allow for efficient cooling. Cooked foods shall be cooled as quickly as possible by cooling in small portions, in metal pans and on ice. Foods shall be transferred to the cooler after they have reached an internal temperature of around 22 degrees Celsius (room temperature). Instructed staff to take the foods out of the cooler and cool them on ice. Also instructed staff to use a clean and sanitized probe thermometer to monitor food temperatures regularly. Operator shall review cooling procedures with food handlers to ensure cooked foods are cooled properly.
