HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Low (≤15) Total Score = 12
Critical Hazards: There are no critical hazards.
Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 4
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION):
1) An open can of pepperoni sticks (for sale) was found at the front cashier area. The pepperoni is exposed to contaminates (sneezing, coughing, touching etc.).
2) Food sampling of salsa (in a communal container) and chips (on a large plate); and cut cheese and sausage (on a large plate w/ little to no toothpicks) is being incorrectly. The samples can be contaminated by the public touching other samples, and the samples are exposed to temperature abuse.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Remore the can of pepperoni sticks so the public has no access. Or, place the pepperoni in a covered case or inividually wrap the pepperoni. The pepperoni was removed from the cash register area.
2) Put out minimal amounts of samples to prevent temperature abuse (enough to be consumed within 1 hour); each food item must have its own toothpick or disposable cup; and no large or bulk containers of sauces shall be offered for personal dipping. Retrain staff on the correct methods of sampling.
Violation Score: 3

306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation:
The following areas were found to have accumulated food debris, sauces and grease on them:
1) On the floor around, between, and behind boxes on the floor, and on shelves.
2) Tables legs, wire racks, and the tracks for sliding cooler doors.
3) Walls in food preparation areas.
4) Handles on doors, coolers, sinks, and drain levers.
Corrective Action(s):
Immediately clean these areas and increase the frequency at which these areas are being done. To properly clean surfaces a soap/degreaser must be used first to remove food and grease, then a sanitizer (pick solution) shall be used after to kill the germs. A sanitizer isn't a soap/degreaser, it is a chemical that only kills germs.
**Correction date: July 3/18**
Violation Score: 3

307 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not of suitable design/material [s. 16; s. 19]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION):
The table legs of the oven and one cutting table still has white, protective plastic on it. This plastic is not cleanable.
Corrective Action(s):
Peel off this plastic to expose the cleanable, stainless steel material. This was done during the inspection.
Violation Score: 3

308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
Observation:
The 3-compartment sink drain levers and pipes are leaking. The leaking waste water is pooling on the floor and attracting pests.
Corrective Action(s):
Immediately call in a plumber to repair or replace the damaged drain levers and pipes. Mop up the pooling water and clean all the food debris on the exterior of the drain pipes and lever handles.
**Correction date: July 3/18**
