Routine inspection conducted. Facility is generally in good sanitary condition. The following observations were made:
1. Temperatures (Max: 4C for coolers, -18C for freezers; Min: 60C for hot-holders)
- All undercounter prep coolers at 4C
- Cooling unit underneath sandwich prep cooler at 4C (cooling wells at ~7-11C - see violation code above)
- Chest freezer and freezer unit above domestic fridge at -18C; freezer inserts / pull-out freezer compartments at front of premise at -18C
- Hot-holding unit for miso soup and rice at 62 and 63C, respectively
2. Hygiene and Sanitizing
- Handwash station at front and back of premise stocked with hot/cold running water, liquid soap, and single-use paper towels
- Sanitizing pail at back of kitchen (not front) contains 200 ppm chlorine residual
- Dishwasher sanitizes with final rinse cycle of 72.8C (min: 71C)
- Employees observed properly using gloves, no evidence of re-use
- Porta-filter is flushed routinely with approved cleaning powder to clean the coffee machine. Note: Please ensure that the steam wand is sanitized at least once every 4 hours
- Washed utensils and implements, including spoons, knives, cutting boards, generally stored and maintained in sanitary condition
3. Storage
- All items stored at least 6" off floor
- Frozen and cooked / ready-to-eat items such as chocolate pastries are individually packaged in seran wrap inside front freezing unit
4. Administrative
- Permit posted
- Operator has FoodSafe 1, due to expire on July 29, 2018. Please renew online or through a classroom course by going to www.foodsafe.ca.
5. Pest Activity
- No visible signs of recent pest activity noted at time of inspection
Recommendations:
- Please begin maintaining temperature logs. See www.foodsafe.ca for a template
- The front prep cooler is saturated with items. Move items from the front prep cooler to the coolers at the back to increase airflow and cooling potential
Follow-up inspection to evaluate operator's new proposal for the cooling well (adding ice + covering with lid when not in use). Do not place potentially hazardous foods in the cooling wells until you can demonstrate that it can maintain 4C or lower through a follow-up inspection. |
