HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Moderate (16-29) Total Score = 20
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1) In-use wiping cloths at the front of the house had chlorine residual on them but were not kept submerged in a bleach solution. These cloths were being used with the sanitzer spray bottle for front of the house.
2) Sanitizer spray bottle for the back of the house contained a bleach solution that was too strong, >200ppm chlorine.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Previously discussed - in-use wiping cloths must be fully submerged in a sanitizer solution at all times. Back of the house is already doing this.
2) Diluted spray bottle at time of inspection to 200ppm chlorine.

Obtain chlorine test strips to verify the concentration of bleach solutions when they are prepared.
