209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): REPEAT VIOLATION: Scoops observed fully immersed inside flour bins.

Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Vacuum packed shrimp was being placed directly on top of the flour bin and defrosted at room temperature. Shrimp was at a surface temperature of approximately 5C at time of inspection.
Corrective Action(s): Shrimp was placed into the cooler at time of inspection. Do not leave shrimp at room temperature. Shrimp must be defrosted in an acceptable manner, including in a cooler, under cold running water, by cooking it, or in a microwave oven.

NOTE: Break vacuum packed seals with a knife during defrosting to prevent potential growth of anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that grow in the absence of oxygen, which could produce dangerous toxins).
Violation Score: 3
