HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Low (≤15) Total Score = 0
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Food stored in top sushi counter cooler was probed to be at 9C internally. The staff was observed removing the sliding doors of the cooler for easy access.
Correction: Discarded all the food stored in the top cooler. Operator replaced all of the missing sliding doors and an ambient temperature of 1.8C was measured after the cooler was sealed.
Rationale: Potentially hazardous foods must be stored at 4C or less or 60C or more. Improperly sealed coolers or coolers without doors cannot maintain temperature to store food at an appropriate temperature and allow for pathogens to grow and/or toxins to accumulate.
Corrective Action(s):
Violation Score:

401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Hand washing sink blocked off by equipment and a big bowl of sushi rice was kept next to it.
Correction: Clear the access way to the sink. Operator moved the rice bowl and the containers. Ensure there is always access to hand washing stations.
Rationale: Access to handwashing stations allows for frequent handwashing which protects food from contamination.
Corrective Action(s):

Non-Critical Hazards: There are no non-critical hazards.
Follow Up to "Critical" Violations Noted on Previous Inspections (if applicable): No corrections entered
