205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Heated/boiled chickpeas were measured at approximately 20 degrees C in trays sitting on a storage rack at room temperature. Operator stated the chickpeas were removed from the hot temperature control just under two hours ago. Staff however stated that they thought they would keep the cooked/boiled chickpeas at room temperature throughout the day since they were cooking them to order throughout the day.
Corrective Action(s): Multiple trays of chickpeas were saran wrapped during the inspection and then transferred into the walk-in-cooler. Do not leave potentially hazardous food at room temperature. If staff needs to keep some chickpeas closer to the deep frying area, then place them into a prep. cooler.

Review with staff to ensure potentially hazardous food that has been cooked and will be cooled for later use is cooled as follows:
1. From 60 deg. C to 20 deg. C within or less than 2 hours
2. From 20 deg. C to 4 deg C within or less than 4 hours.

Operator had FOODSAFE Level 1 certificates for a few staff members and stated he has hired some new staff. While it is still required that at least one staff member maintain valid FOODSAFE Level 1 training on-site in the absence of the Operator, it is recommended that a greater number of staff obtain FOODSAFE level 1 training to enhance understanding of food safety practices. Courses are listed on the www.FOODSAFE.ca website.
