209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation: 1) A huge amount of containers and products found without lids - from prep coolers, to spice containers, to high risk foods in the walk in cooler
2) Scoops getting stored in food and ice. Some with handles contaminating food product, many others with no scoop and therefore not adequate for use as a scoop.
3) 2 opened tins found in storage, with cut metal exposed to foods.
4) Milk crates again being used for raw food storage - cut onions
5) Mess of products spilling over the functioning prep cooler top. Lid can't even be closed due to pile up of veggies.
Corrective Action(s): 1 & 2) Always use food grade lids and proper scoops in your food bins. Scoops must be stored in a sanitary manner to avoid contamination of foods.
3) All product must be immediately removed from opened tins as the materials oxidize and contaminate the product.
4) Milk crates are NOT food crate nor clean storage containers. Use only for packaged foods like milk, yogurt, or wrapped items.
5) Keep your kitchen organized and clean. Simple organization will mean you can use your equipment properly.
Violation Score: 9
