206 - Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Cooked quinoa was held in a rice cooker that was not turned on. Internal temperature of the quinoa was noted at 27.5C (picture evidence collected).
Corrective Action(s): **Issue corrected at the time of inspection** Staff discarded the quinoa.
As per staff, the rice cooker is not turned on to hot hold the quinoa because it scorches the quinoa. Their practice has been to cook the quinoa and leave extra at this rice cooker that is not plugged in. When more is needed, they will reheat the qunioa and either hot hold over 60.0C or held below 4.0C.
The current practice is not an approved practice as dictated by your Food Safety Plan. Do not continue this practice because if bacteria produces toxins in the quinoa when held at room temperature, the toxins cannot be destroy by reheating. This could potentially lead to serious, life-threatening food borne illness outbreaks.
Solution is to cook the quinoa and either hot held in the hot water bath at over 60.0C or cool down properly and reheat when needed.

Observation: Soap does not fit into the wall mounted soap dispenser in the back of house handwash station. Therefore, during the inspection, there was no soap that was easily accessible for handwashing at this station.
Corrective Action(s): Purchase a temporary soap dispenser (similar to the one in the front of house) for the time being until proper soap is purchase for the wall mounted dispenser.
All handwash stations MUST always be equipped with both hot and cold water, liquid soap and paper towel at all time for food handlers to practice proper handwashing as needed.
