304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]
Observation:
Found drain fly problem in the premises, especially in the back food preparation area. Supervisor explained that Orkin has been contracted to eliminate the pest, blue lights and fly paper present in premises. Flies can transfer germs to food and/or could fall into food.
Corrective Action(s):
Increase the frequency of cleaning hard to reach areas and ensure staff are using hot water and soap to remove food stains, and then use sanitizer to kill the germs.
**Correction date: Nov. 26/18**
Violation Score: 3
306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation:
General sanitation level is adequate, but food debris and pooling water found underneath and behind equipment; on pipes and walls beneath sinks; on legs of tables or equipment; and on the undersides of tables, equipment, shelves, and sinks. This will attract and breed pests (flies, cockroaches, etc.).
Corrective Action(s):
Detailed cleaning of the premises is needed on a daily basis to remove food debris. Review the proper method to cleaning all surfaces with staff. Soap MUST be used to remove food debris and sanitizer MUST be used to kill germs. Sanitizer isn't a degreaser and will NOT remove food debris. Provide extra time for staff to clean these areas, or have one staff member only complete the detailed cleaning during their shift.
**Correction date: Nov. 26/18**
Violation Score: 3
308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
Observation:
1) Walk-in-freezer #1 has a broken door gasket. Ice is building up around the base of the door and then melting. Water then pools on the floor and creates an environment for pests to breed.
2) The upright fridge, storing the bottled drinks (by walk-in-freezer #1), has pooling water underneath it. This will attract and breed pests.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Replace the broken door gasket on the walk-in-freezer #1 door to stop cold air escaping and mixing with warm air, causing the ice to build up around the door.
**Correction date: Jan. 1/19**
2) Mop up the pooling water and have the upright fridge serviced to determine where the pooling water is coming from.
**Correction date: Nov. 26/18**
