HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Moderate (16-29) Total Score = 24
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Staff was observed placing freshly cooked mushrooms that were on a shallow sheet pan inside the walk-in cooler. Steam was observed rising from the mushrooms at the time of inspection. Staff said mushrooms were cooked 5 minutes ago.
Corrective Action(s): Food must be properly cooled from 60C to 20C in 2 hours, and from 20C to 4C to prevent the growth of pathogens that lead to foodborne illness. Placing freshly cooked food inside the walk-in cooler will increase the temperature of the surrounding foods inside the walk-in cooler.

Staff removed the mushrooms from the walk-in cooler, and allowed the mushrooms to cool for an hour prior to placing it inside the cooler.
Violation Score: 5

205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 4 baked potatoes were found inside a drawer across the cook station. Internal temperature is 21.5C. Staff said baked potatoes were made last night.
Corrective Action(s): Ensure potentially hazardous foods are stored at 4C or less to prevent the rapid growth of bacteria and/or formation of toxins that could lead to foodborne illness. Staff discarded the baked potatoes.
Violation Score: 5

302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Vegetable slicer was observed to have food debris along the blade. Staff said the vegetable slicer was used last night.
Corrective Action(s): Clean and sanitize the vegetable slicer at least every 4 hours throughout the day as well as at the end of the day. Bacteria can multiply rapidly on the slicer, which may lead to foodborne illness. Staff immediately dismantled and cleaned and sanitized the slicer.
Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation: Boxes of alcoholic beverages were found inside the walk-in cooler by the bar station
