HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Moderate (16-29) Total Score = 19
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Large pot of curry sauce was placed in walk in cooler. Probed internal temperature was 3.5 degrees C
Corrective Action(s): For all future cooling of sauces/curries, do not use large pots like this. Use smaller containers (operator has small plastic food grade buckets) to cool these foods instead. This is important so that foods are cooled quickly and adequately: from 60 deg C-->20 deg C in 2 hours, and 20 deg C-->4 deg C in 4 hours.

If this large pot is observed being used to cool foods again, further enforcement action (order, ticket) will be taken.
