Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Cooked vats of fried rice were still steaming, at approximately 45-50C, inside the walk-in cooler. Rice was cooked approximately 30 mina go. Lids closed at time of inspection.
Corrective Action(s): Fried rice was moved out into the kitchen area. Lids removed in order for steam to escape. Once the rice had cooled down to approximately 30-35C, it was placed back into the walk-in cooler.

All cooked foods must be cooled from 60C to 20C in 2 hours, and from 20C to 4C in 4 hours. Use shallow containers to facilitate cooling, and do not place lids on top of the rice when it initially cools down. Use cooling logs to take the temperature of the food products every 2 hours to ensure that you meet the cooling requirement above. Proper cooling is essential to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and/or production of their toxins.
