209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation: 1) Prepackaged canola oil was observed stored inside the staff washroom.
2) Several preparation utensils and pots and pans requiring ware-washing were stored on the floor. There was limited space available on the drain board near the first compartment sink unit.
3) Extra empty containers were observed stored in the room with the mop sink and hot water tank. Person in charge on shift stated that these were extra containers not required for business use and would be removed from the food premises.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Re-locate all the canola oil from the staff washroom to a designated clean dry storage area within the food premises that is separate from the staff washroom. Correct today.
2) Ensure all food preparation utensils and pots and pans are stored off the floor; Correct immediately. Recommendation: Obtain a large enough utility cart made of durable, non-toxic, washable/easy to clean, and impermeable to moisture materials that can be used to store the used/soiled preparation utensils off the floor near the 3-compartment sink before they are manually ware-washed. Alternatively, it was reviewed that ware-washing can be done more frequently throughout the day to prevent excessive containers from being temporarily stored on the floor before manual ware-washing is conducted.
3) Remove the extra containers not required for business use from the food premises. If these storage containers are required for business use, then store them into a dry clean designated storage area for containers separate from the janitorial closet after the containers have been washed, rinsed, sanitized, and air dried. Correct today.
