Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
206 - Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Meat dishes in the steamer unit on the stovetop were measured at approximately 49 - 55 C. Staff state the burner is switched off in order to avoid over-cooking the food.
Corrective Action(s): Burner switched on during inspection. Ensure hot food is held at a temperature of 60 C or higher - do not allow food to enter the danger zone temperature range between 4 C and 60 C for more than 2 hours.
Violation Score: 5

302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1) Sanitizer bottle in main kitchen contained zero detectable chlorine. Bottle was dusty, and did not appear to have been used recently. Staff state this is in daily use.
2) Sanitizer in front servery spray bottle was at a concentration of well over 200ppm (test strips bleached out). Cloth bucket was at a concentration of approximately 50ppm.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Bleach added to create solution of 200ppm during inspection. Ensure solution is maintained between 100-200ppm at all times (add 1 teaspoon of plain bleach per Litre of water). Note: ensure staff use sanitizer as required - this should be a final step after washing/rinsing the countertops, cutting surfaces and any frequent-use utensils.
2) See above - ensure sanitizer is maintained at the correct strength.
Violation Score: 15

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Potatoes were being peeled outside the kitchen, and were left on the ground outside the back door to the kitchen while staff attended other tasks.
Corrective Action(s): Moved indoors. Ensure all food is kept inside the restaurant - do not leave food outside on the ground, as this may allow contamination via pests or tampering.
Violation Score: 3

312 - Items not required for food premises operation being stored on the premises [s. 18]
Observation: Meat slicer has not yet been removed from the premises, as discussed at past inspections. Blade and guard has not yet been cleaned.
Corrective Action(s): If the slicer is not in use, remove from the premises by tomorrow at the latest (9th August 2017). If it is being used, ensure staff clean and sanitize the unit thoroughly after use. Issue will be checked at a follow-up inspection - if slicer is still on site and dirty, this will receive a violation code as if it is in use.
Violation Score: 3
