HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: High (≥30) Total Score = 68
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. Bowl of bean sprouts, around 15 eggs, and cooked noodles were found next to the cook station. Operator said these were at room temperature for an hour from the time of inspection
2. Left Standup fridge by the staff area is 6.2C. Right standup fridge by staff area is 9.3C. Internal temperature of bean sprouts was 9.1C. Both coolers were adjusted to the coldest setting. Staff moved potentially hazardous foods from the coolers to the freezers and prep cooler.
Corrective Action(s): 1. Potentially hazardous foods can only be kept at room temperature for a maximum of TWO hours to ensure there is no rapid bacterial growth, which may lead to foodborne illness. Operator moved bean sprouts, eggs, and cooked noodles to a prep cooler and/or freezer at the time of inspection.
2. Do not use BOTH standup fridges to store potentially hazardous foods until the fridges are functioning at 4C or below. Operator moved potentially hazardous foods (e.g. eggs, bean sprouts, tofu) to other freezers and prep cooler.
Violation Score: 15

206 - Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 2 large pots of house made pad thai sauce were found on the floor underneath the prep sink. Operator said both sauces were made 3 hours ago. Internal temperature for both pots: 62.1C and 52.3C. Operator intended to leave sauces at room temperature and reheat sauces upon customer order.
Corrective Action(s): Once pad thai sauce is freshly made, ensure pad thai sauce is hot held to a minimum of 60C to prevent the rapid growth of bacteria which may cause foodborne illness. Do NOT store pots on the ground.

Operator discarded the pot of pad thai sauce that was 52.3C. Pot of pad thai sauce that was 62.1C was moved to a stove top to be hot held.
Violation Score: 5
