HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Moderate (16-29) Total Score = 23
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observed a large pot in the walk-in cooler of soup. Cooler temperature is below 4C (observed at 3.7C) and soup temperature was tested at 8.6C using a probe thermometer. Staff stated this soup was made yesterday.
Corrective Action(s): In order to safely cool potentially hazardous foods (i.e. soups) we must follow this procedure:

1. Cool foods from >60C to 20C (room tempearture) within 2 hours.
2. Move foods to cooler and ensure foods reach 4C within 4 hours.

As this soup was prepared yesterday, we have exceeded the 6 hour cooling period.

When asking staff how this soup was cooled - it was found that the soup was left in the original pot it was prepared in, and placed into the walk-in cooler.

In order to quickly cool foods, it is best practice to portion foods into smaller pots, pans, trays, etc. and use an appropriate ice wand for liquid foods. Also, ensure you are using a probe thermometer to monitor the temperature of the soup during the cooling period.
