HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: High (≥30) Total Score = 33
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
301 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Several utensils located within a bus bin at the far end of the preparation line were coated in food debris (flour, oil). Bin is intended for clean storage and was partially covered with a lid at the time of inspection.
Corrective Action(s): Bus bin and utensils were placed into dishwashing area at time of inspection to be washed, rinsed, and sanitized. Ensure that all equipment, utensils, and food contact surfaces are maintained in sanitary condition to limit potential contamination of food. After proper cleaning and sanitizing, utensils and equipment may be properly covered or stored in another area to protect from potential contamination.
Violation Score: 5

302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. No chlorine (hypochlorite) was detected on test strip for bleach water sanitizer located in kitchen. This was the only spray bottle of bleach water sanitizer in the kitchen area. A surface layer of foam was observed in the spray bottle. It was stated by kitchen staff that soap was added to the sanitizer.
2. Cardboard is being used as a surface for drying equipment that has been washed and sanitized.
Corrective Action(s): 1. Contents of spray bottle were discarded and bottle was rinsed. A new bleach water sanitizer was prepared at 200 ppm chlorine (hypochlorite). Ensure that sanitizer is available at all times and at the correct concentration for effective sanitizing of food contact surfaces. Ensure that food contact surfaces are properly sanitized as needed to limit the potential contamination of food. Food contact surfaces should be sanitized at least every four hours.
2. Cardboard removed. Ensure cardboard is not used as a surface for drying utensils and equipment as cardboard may reintroduce potential contamination. A proper drying rack is a suitable option for drying of utensils and equipment.
Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 5
