209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Surface sanitizer spray bottles (x3) all achieved over 200ppm chlorine (bleached out test strips).
Corrective action: Staff prepared fresh sanitizer in each bottle and the solution achieved 100 to 200ppm chlorine with test strips. Ensure sanitizer with bleach is made at least fresh daily and more frequently to maintain 100 - 200ppm chlorine with 1/2 tsp bleach in 1 litre water to lower risk of excess chlorine contaminating food contact surfaces that may cause chemical-related illness or ham (corrected). Obtain chlorine test strips to monitor concentration of chlorine sanitizer: correct within 2 weeks.
Corrective Action(s):
Violation Score:
210 - Food not thawed in an acceptable manner [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Bag of frozen meat observed thawing at room temperature. Staff informed it was brought out to thaw prior to the inspection (less than 2 hours).
Corrective action: Staff submerged the bag in cold water during inspection, to continue the thawing process. Ensure frozen foods are thawed in the cooler at or below 4C, under cold running water, in a cold water bath where water is replaced every 30 minutes or as a part of the cooking process. Thawing in a proper/safe manner helps evenly thaw the interior and exterior so that the food remains outside the danger zone (4C/40F to 60C /140F).
Corrective Action(s):
Violation Score:
311 - Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]
Observation: Five to six dry stained, sagging ceiling tiles with previous water damage observed above the dry goods storage area. Staff informed that there have been no other incidents of leaking water and that no food items were contaminated during the recent incident (more than 1 month ago).
Corrective action: Replace the damaged ceiling tiles with tiles that are non-porous, easily cleanable, durable tiles. Note: no active leak observed at the time of inspection. Ensure the dry storage area containing dry goods is maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, to prevent possible contamination of food or food contact surfaces or conditions that may attract pests.

Corrective Action(s):
Violation Score:
315 - Refrigeration units and hot holding equipment lack accurate thermometers [s. 19(2)]
Observation: Refrigeration units observed without accurate thermometers: Stainless steel prep cooler opposite the cook top, domestic freezer (white standup top unit), small stainless steel prep cooler where broth is stored, and small danby freezer opposite the cook top.
Corrective action: Obtain accurate thermometers (to +/- 1 degreeC ) for each of the above mentioned refrigeration units. In the interim, use the probe thermometer to monitor the temperatures regularly to ensure the coolers are at or below 4C and freezers are at or below -18C, to prevent growth of pathogens and/or toxin production that may be present in the foods.
