Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation:
There is accumulated food on the floor under equipment in the bar area, pizza making area, and the cook line area. The food will attract and harbour pests.
Corrective Action(s):
Increase the frequency these areas are cleaned to remove the food. Staff should be moving the equipment away from the walls, so the floor underneath can be cleaned. OR, staff need to sweep and mop under equipment, ensuring the broom and mop reach all the way to the back wall.
**Correction date: Feb. 5/24**
Violation Score: 3

307 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not of suitable design/material [s. 16; s. 19]
Observation:
Plastic bags, cardboard, and foil are lining shelves and surfaces. These materials are not cleanable or durable, and will attract pests.
Corrective Action(s):
Plastic bags, cardboard and aluminum foil must be discarded at the end of each day as these materials are not durable, sealed or cleanable. Recommend not using these materials to cover or line shelves, just clean these surfaces each day.
**Correction date: Today**
Violation Score: 3

308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
Observation:
1) The drain pipes under the sinks, in the front bar area are leaking. There is pooling water and debris accumulating on pipes and in buckets catching the dripping water. The pooling water and debris will breed drain flies and fruit flies.

2) There is unsealed wood and exposed dry wall around the door frame leading into the pizza dough making area. Unsealed wood and dry wall is not durable or cleanable, this will attract pests.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Contact a certified plumber to repair or replace the drain pipes so they no longer leak. Clean up the pooling water and debris on the pipes, and remove the buckets.
**Correction date: Feb. 28/24**

2) Paint any unsealed wood, and install painted wood over the exposed drywall so it is durable, level, sealed, and cleanable.
**Correction date: June 30/24**
Violation Score: 3
