Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): The commercial low temperature dishwasher was run 3 times and did not have a final sanitizing rinse (water temperature reached 50 C which is not hot enough to sanitize and the chlorine did not go through the plastic line - 0 ppm chlorine detected on the plates after the final rinse).
Corrective Action(s): Staff have been advised that immediately all dishes and utensils are to be sanitized by hand in a clean sink with a chlorine sanitizing solution of 100-200ppm and then air dried. Test strip left with staff to verify the concentration. Fix the dishwasher so that a final sanitizing rinse of 50 ppm chlorine is detected on the dishes after the final rinse. Also, maintain dishwasher as per manufacturer's specifications as a build up of white (possible calcium) residue was noted on the machine.
