Comments

Routine inspection conducted.

Temperatures:
Coolers are at or below 4 degrees Celsius.
Walk-in cooler is holding broth at 3 degrees Celsius.
Freezers are functional. Food is kept frozen.
NOTE: it is recommended that the stand up freezer at the back be emptied and defrosted as there is significant build up of ice on the shelves. This prevents adequate air flow inside the cooler.
Broth/soup hot holding was at 62 degrees Celsius (min. 60C required).
Thermometers are available.

Large pots of broth are moved into smaller containers for rapid cooling - GOOD

Sanitation:
Hand sinks are equipped with hot and cold running water, liquid soap, and disposable paper towels.
100 ppm chlorine residual solution is available in the food handling areas and the front for cleaning tables.
Bleach is available in ample quantities.
High temperature dishwasher is maintaining 72 degrees Celsius at the dish surface after the final rinse cycle (min. 71 C is required).
Overall sanitation requires attention. *see violations above*
