203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Six containers of curries (internal temperature above 20 degrees C and below 60 degrees C) were observed at room temperature. Cooling wands were observed not to be in use initially. Staff informed the curries were at room temperature for 1 hour.
Corrective Action(s): Staff placed four cooling wands inside the curries, portioned out the remaining curries and moved them to the walk-in-cooler to rapidly cool the curries. Probe thermometer was available on-site.
.
Ensure curries cool quickly from 60 to 20 degrees C within 2 hours maximum and 20 to 4 degrees C within 4 hours maximum to prevent potential growth of harmful bacteria and/or production of toxins and to prevent foodborne illness.
.
Proper cooling methods --i.e. using cooling wands, stirring the curries, portioning the curries into shallow metal containers, using an ice water bath in the 3-compartment sink --were reviewed with staff.
