HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: High (≥30) Total Score = 58
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Dishwasher in the main kitchen does not have a final sanitizing rinse (0 ppm chlorine detected after running 3 times and after priming and running again). The chemical sanitizer level in the bottle was low and a new container with fresh sanitizer was provided. The system was primed and still no chlorine was detected after the final rinse.
Corrective Action(s): Chlorine feed line was primed again and finally chlorine (50-100ppm) was detected inside the machine after the final rinse - corrected. Verify using test strips that at least 50 ppm is available after the final rinse and after the machine has rested to ensure that all dishes and utensils are santized after they are washed. Verify that the glassware washer has at least 12.5pppm iodine after the final rinse as well using your test strips for iodine.

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]
Observation: Numerous mouse droppings were noted in the kitchen (on the metal shelf near the kitchen hand sink) and on the floor. Droppings were also noted on an empty shelf in the dry storage area and on the floor of the basement office/freezer storage room. Droppings were noted on the floor of the storage shed.
Corrective Action(s): Food that may have been contaminated was previously discarded as per staff and operator. No evidence of contaminated food during inspection. Premises, including kitchen, bar, and all food storage areas must be free of pests. Your pest management plan is to include: protecting food from contamination, sealing all holes where pests may enter, repairing any water leaks and cleaning up food spills promptly, cleaning floor, and monitoring for pests. A pest control company will help to identify areas where pests may enter and help to eliminate pest problem.

Observation: There is a hole near the shelf at the bottom of the stairs and other areas where pests may enter. The back door to the kitchen is open.
Corrective Action(s): Keep back door closed or install a screened door that can be shut to keep out pests. Seal all holes more than 1.5 cm in diameter (diameter of a dime) and keep the premises clean. Remove debris and refuse in the area near the back storage shed to reduce areas where rodents may nest. Keep back storage shed free of pests.
