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): Two containers of rice (approximately 10L total) were at an internal temperature of 7-9C at time of inspection. The rice was cooked last night.
Corrective Action(s): The rice was discarded. You must cool rice from 60C to 20C in 2 hours, and from 20C to 4C in 4 hours. Failure to do so will result in the growth of spore-forming bacteria (that aren't killed during cooking) that can make toxins when the food is above 4C.

Always cool rice in shallow containers to speed up cooling. Do not cover the rice with a lid or put it in the fridge right away, as this will trap steam and make it more difficult to cool.
Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. Scoop and handle stored directly inside the ice.
2. Parsley was stored close to the mop bucket.
Corrective Action(s): 1. Scoop was removed from the ice. Store the scoop outside the ice cooler - this is more sanitary and prevents food handlers from reaching into the ice to obtain the handle.
2. Parsley was moved away from the mop bucket and placed near the front of the kitchen. Never store food products near mop buckets or chemicals, as this may contaminate the parsley.
Violation Score: 3
