HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: High (≥30) Total Score = 54
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 5
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Several large 5 gallon buckets of pho broth noted on the floor along the back hallway. All measured 60C or above.
Corrective Action(s): Food must be cooled from 60-20C in 2 hours or less and from 20-4C in 4 hours or less. Do not allow to cool at room temperature as this is not quick enough.

1) Staff began to cool buckets of pho broth in the prep sink using cold water. Ensure this is stirred constantly and cold water replenished when it warms.
2) Purchase cooling wands to facilitate cooling.
3) Do not stick hot buckets of broth in the cooler as this may overwhelm the unit. It must be cooled prior to placing into the cooler.
Violation Score: 25

205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Bean sprouts and cut lime stored in ice water solution. However bean sprouts measured 10C.
Corrective Action(s): Do not fill bean sprout or lime bucket above water line.
Violation Score: 5

Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Both front handsinks have food debris and/or equipment in them. This is a repeat violation.
Corrective Action(s): As per previous inspections, one sink must be designated the handwashing station and the other as a dump sink for drinks.

The handwashing station must be used for handwashing ONLY.
