Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3

209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)] Observation: 1) Several containers of sauces/curries were left uncovered in the preparation coolers. A large shallow pan of rice was kept uncovered in the glass sliding door cooler. 2) A bucket of raw meat was kept next to a bucket of cooked curry. 3) A bag of raw onions was stored on the floor. Corrective Action(s): 1) Cover containers when storing them inside coolers to protect from contamination through spills or accidents. Date to be corrected by: immediately. 2) The two containers were separated at the time of inspection. Raw meats should be stored on the bottom most shelf while ready to eat foods (such as cooked curries) should be kept on the top shelves. This prevents raw meat juices from pouring into cooked food items which can cause a foodborne illness. 3) Operator relocated the bag of onions to a storage shelf at the time of inspection.

Cutting boards must be cleaned after each use or every 2 hours to prevent the growth of bateria and/or accumulation of toxins. Date to be corrected by: Today 2) Cardboard was removed at the time of inspection. Lining the floor with cardboard can attract pests as cardboard absorbs food. It can also allow the growth of bacteria.
