HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Low (≤15) Total Score = 6
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION):
1) Wiping cloths stored on the counter top when not in use. Any bacteria on the cloth will multiply as there is food debris on the cloth and it is sitting at room temperature.
2) The bleach sanitizer in the spray bottle had [Cl2] of 50ppm. This is too low to kill bacteria.
3) The plastic drink shakers and blenders, ice scoop, and other reusable equipment are rinsed off between use and then stored on the counter. Rinsing of these items will not remove all bacteria and they will grow on the surface of these items, as they sit at room temperature.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Immediatly place all wiping cloths in a bucket of bleach and water (1Tbsp bleach in 4L of water) when not in use. This will kill any bacteria which the cloth picks up. The bleach and water solution shall be changed every 2-4 hours with new solution to keep the strength at 200ppm.
2) Mix a new bleach and water solution in the spray bottle so the strength is 200ppm (1Tbsp bleach in 4L of water). A new solution shall be made every other day.
3) All rinsed off, reusable equipment MUST be washed and sanitized in the dishwasher every 2 hours. This will kill any bacteria that was not rinsed off.

Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
502 - In operator’s absence, no staff on duty has FOODSAFE Level 1 or equivalent [s. 10(2)]
Observation:
During the inspection, the staff member working did NOT have a valid FoodSafe level 1 certificate or an equivalent. There must always be at least one person working at all times, that possesses a valid FoodSafe certificate. AND, managers/owners must possess a valid FoodSafe certificate.
