Comments

- General sanitation needs improvement. See violation section above.
- Handwashing station supplied with cold/hot running water, soap, and paper towels.
- Surface sanitizer available in spray bottles at 100ppm bleach concentration.
- Three compartment sink available for manual dishwashing. Sanitizer available at 100ppm bleach concentration.
- High temperature dishwasher achieved 71C at the plate's level during the final rinse cycle.
- Dry storage area has adequate space and wire racks. Dry food items must be stored min 15cm (6inches) off the floor.

Temperature control:
- All coolers: < or = 4C
- All freezers: < or = -18C
- Hot holding (rice, beans): > 60C

Note: As noted from report #DSOG-B7MUZT, additional prep table is required for food preparation. Placing hot holding units directly on the high temp dishwasher adjacent to the three compartment sink is poses cross contamination risk. This will be verified during the next routine inspection.
