209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. Chutney sauce, chickpeas and various food items were observed to be uncovered in the walk-in cooler and sandwich prep cooler.
2. Bleach sanitizer for sanitizing the samosa maker and the stand mixer measured to have a concentration of chlorine that bleached out the test strip.
Corrective action:
1. Ensure that all food items are covered to protect food from contamination.
2. Re-make bleach sanitizer. Retest with test strip to ensure that the concentration of chlorine falls between 100 - 200ppm.
Rationale:
1. Physical contaminants can fall into the uncovered food, which can contribute to foodborne illness.
2. Wiping equipment surfaces with an excessive amount of chlorine can introduce chemical contamination to food, which can make customers sick.
