NOTE: Facility requires more space. Facility is supplying noodles, broth and other items to associated restaurants. Facility needs more space
NOTE: EHO has previously informed owners of need for proper transportation vehicle for food transportation. No observations of broth transported today during inspection however EHO has been informed that broth is transported to other locations in Vancouver. Cold storage transportation is required for potentially hazardous items. The vehicle used for transportation of food items is to be durable, in good sanitary condition and constructed of suitable surfaces for food transportation. If the vehicle is used for the transportation of cold potentially hazardous items then the vehicle also must be capable of maintaining temperatures of less than or equal to 4 degrees Celsius.
