HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Low (≤15) Total Score = 8
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observed staff near filling 15L buckets to cool and store soup. Buckets are left out at room temperature until they cool to room temperature then put into the walk in cooler. Putting soups to cool in 15L buckets into the cooler will not cool down to under 4C (40F) in under 4 hours.
Corrective Action(s): Implement one of the following methods to cool soups faster:
- Put soups into shallow trays (2" or less in depth) to allow for faster cooling
- Use ice wands or ice packs into the center of the soup once it has cooled enough to bring the center of the soup down faster
- Put the buckets into the walk in freezer after they have cooled down substantially at room temperature until they have cooled to 4C in the middle before transferring to the walk in cooler.
Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1

Corrective Action(s): Clean up all mouse droppings, continue to work with pest control company and follow all their recommendations to remediate issue. Also replace weather stripping under office door to prevent movement of pests to/from this space. Due: 1 week.
