105	Critical Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s) Observation: Whole chickens cooled in the insert of the line cooler measured at 21 degrees Celsius after greater than 6 hours of cooling. Corrective Action: Chickens discarded at time of inspection. Chickens must be cooled using a different method that achieves cooling from 60C to 20C in 2 hours and from 20C - 4C in an additional 4 hours. Methods that will increase the speed of cooling include - cutting the chickens up and spreading them out to increase the surface area, cool them on multiple shallow pans, and cooling them in the walk- in cooler as the compressor is more powerful. Indicate how this will be achieved from now on.

Corrective Action: Consult professional pest control to come up with a schedule for treating drains in the kitchen and bar. Consider using fans to exclude flies from kitchen area and bar as well as plugging the drains at night. Enhanced cleaning in hard to reach areas (i.e. behind the bar) will aid in this regard. Reinspection to be completed to assess control measures.
