Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Vat of lamb curry was at internal temperature of 30C at time of inspection. The lamb was left out at room temperature 3.5 hours ago.
Corrective Action(s): Lamb curry was discarded. Food must be cooled from 60C to 20C in 2 hours, and from 20C to 4C within 4 hours. You may use an ice wand, blast chiller, portioning into shallow containers to expedite the cooling time. Items cooled improperly are one of the main causes of foodborne illness.
Violation Score: 5

205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation: Items in walk-in cooler included the following items:
- Lamb & chicken curry at 6-7C
- Cut / sliced vegetables at 6C
- Trays of cooked stew at 7C
- 15 (3.78L) jugs of milk
- Cooked, fried meats at approximately 8C

Walk-in cooler was at 5C at beginning of inspection, and escalated to approximately 8-10C at the end of inspection.
Corrective Action(s): Lamb & chicken curry, vegetables, cooked stew were moved to the bottom of the prep cooler unit, which is currently at an ambient temperature of 2-4C. All potentially hazardous foods must be kept at a temperature of 4C or less at all times to prevent the growth of bacteria that could cause foodborne illness.

Milk and cooked, fried meats that could not adequately fit into the walk-in cooler were discarded at time of inspection.
Violation Score: 5

302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. Low-temperature dishwasher did not release any chlorine residual at time of inspection.
2. One spray bottle in prep area had approximately 10 ppm chlorine residual, another bottle in the bar area had >> 200 ppm.
Corrective Action(s): 1. Stock bottle of chlorine was replaced and final rinse chlorine residual was measured at 100 ppm. You must ensure that your low-temperature dishwasher is functioning at all times. Plates were re-run through the dishwasher at time of inspection.
2. Spray bottle in prep area and bottle in bar area was refilled with 200 ppm chlorine residual. Only add one teaspoon per litre of water.
Violation Score: 15

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 4

Violation Score: 9

306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation: 1. Tray of water underneath the hand wash station was accumulating mould, mildew, and organic debris over time and emanated a strong, musky smell.

Corrective Action(s): 1. Tray of water underneath the hand wash station was discarded. Do not leave stagnant water in the restaurant.
