HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Low (≤15) Total Score = 13
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
301 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation: -The meat slicer had visible remains below and on the blade

This may cause time-temperature abuse to the food stuck on the meat slicer, possibly allowing growth of food borne pathogens. If continuously in use, clean and sanitize meat slicer every 4 hours , or after each use if not used continuously.

-Vent hood past due date (Aug 1, 2020) for cleaning. Operator claims to clean it herself, but there is visible build up of grease.

As the food below gets hot, the grease on the vent hood heals up and can fall on the food below, therefore contaminating it. Hire a professional cleaning company. The operator agreed to do so. Date To Be Corrected By: 2 weeks

Corrective Action(s):
Violation Score: 5

401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Paper towels for both hand washing station used by staff did not have paper towels near them.

Employees should not need to walk across the entire kitchen with wet hands to dry them. This might make the staff want to even skip the drying step.
Store the paper towels somewhere with immediate access to staff, following handwashing.
Corrective Action(s):
Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation: Some areas, such as the small storage in the front of the store and, in the back of the store near the stand up coolers, there is lots of clutter. Furthermore there is a large build up of food remains and filth underneath the prep table. There is also a large build up of grease under the cooking station.

These conditions can lead to a potential pest problem, and is overall unsanitary. Start cleaning the premise, focusing more on the mentioned areas above, more frequently to avoid a build up of unsanitary areas. Also focus more on hard to reach areas, closer to the outer perimeter near the walls. Date To Be Corrected By: Next Inspection.
Corrective Action(s):
Violation Score: 3
