Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
307 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not of suitable design/material [s. 16; s. 19]
Observation: 1) Dishwasher still has the protective plastic on it, which is to prevent scratches from occurring during delivery. The plastic is not washable, and accumulation of food debris on the plastic will attract pests. This was mentioned in the last inspection report, and it was required to be fix.
2) There is foil and cardboard, with accumulated grease on it, covering the shelf above the gas range. This is being changed every 2 weeks. The foil and cardboard is not durable or cleanable, the accumulated grease will attract pests. This was mentioned in the last inspection report, and it was required to be fix.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Peel off the protective plastic to expose the durable and cleanable stainless steel underneath.
**Correction date: Immediately**
2) Foil and cardboard must be discarded every night and new material must be installed in the morning. This is the last chance to follow this procedure, next time foil and cardboard will NOT be allowed to cover the shelf at all.
**Correction date: Today**
Violation Score: 3
