311 - Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]

Corrective Action(s): 1. Remove the extra cardboard boxes from the food facility; Correct today. This will free up space on the air drying shelving unit for food contact surfaces (e.g. inserts in the hot-holding unit) after they have been washed, rinsed, and sanitized. Correct today prior to dishwashing.
2. Anti-slip, washable, durable, and non-absorbent mats are more recommended to line the floor. Cardboard must not be used as it is not made of easy to clean, durable, and non-absorbent materials.
