Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
116   Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment
Observation: Several ceiling tiles were missing during today's inspection.
Corrective Action: All ceiling tiles must be replaced.
118   Other (Specify)
Observation: There were no temperature logs available during today's inspection.
Corrective Action: Temperature logs should be kept for all refrigeration units and temps checked/recorded at least twice daily. These records should be available for review during inspection.
402  Critical Food is protected from contamination (Sec 12(b))
Observation: There were 3 buckets of pizza sauce noted at room temperature during today's inspection.
Corrective Action: As per the Domino's food safety plan, pizza sauce may be stored "opened, at room temperature for a maximum of 8 cumulative hours and the discard." It does not appear that this procedure is being followed. There must not be more than 1 container of sauce holding at room temperature at any given time and that container must be marked with the time it was removed from temperature control. Any remaining product must be discarded after 8 hours of room temperature holding. This violation has been noted on previous inspection reports.
505   Food premises maintained in a sanitary condition (Sec 17(1))
Observation: Overall sanitation and maintenance is this facility continues to need improvement. This observation was also noted in past inspection reports from July 2009, August 2009, June 2010, July 2010 and August 2011.
Corrective Action: Hard to reach areas must be cleaned on a more regular basis including under work stations, under hot water tank and mop sink, behind washing machine etc.
511   Cold holding equipment is able to maintain a temperature of 4 degrees C. or lower (Sec 19(1)(b))
Observation: The temperature of pizza toppings in the make line were not meeting the 4 degree maximum. There were no temperature logs available during today's inspection. At the time of the inspection all the lids of the make line were open and several of the inserts were over-filled.
Corrective Action: Temperature control measures and monitoring were discussed with staff person. Containers must not be filled past 3/4 mark and lids kept on all products especially during slow times. This may help mitigate the temperature issues but the unit must be serviced to ensure it is working properly. Staff were also instructed to obtain a probe thermometer and begin monitoring food temperatures. Any foods exceeding the 4 degree maximum for longer than 2 hours must be discarded immediately in line with the Domino's food safety plan.
802  Critical Premises are free of pests (Sec 26(a)
Observation: Flour beetles were observed along the baseboards under the work tables were the cornflour is stored. When disturbed they disappeared up under the FRP sheeting on the walls.
Corrective Action: This issue was first noted on the July 31, 2009 inspection report. A number of recommendations have been provided on past inspection reports as well as by the pest control company on contract. There was no evidence observed that the beetles have contaminated food products; however greater efforts are required on an on-going basis to ensure that the premises is pest-free.
804   Premises are protected from entrance of pests (Sec 26(c))
Observation: During business hours the back door to the kitchen is always left open for ventilation. As seen on a number of pest control reports provided by the facility, pest control operators continually recommend that the back door be kept shut at all times. This will help prevent entry by pests.
Corrective Action: If the back door cannot be kept closed due to ventilation needs of the staff, a screen door must be installed that will fully seal the back entrance when the door is open.
