Routine inspection conducted. Facility is generally well operated, but sanitation needs to be improved (especially in the back storage areas). The following observations were made:
1. Temperatures - All temperatures meet health requirements
- Walk-in cooler at 3C
- Reach-in cooler area at 4C
- Undercounter coolers behind point-of-sale counter at approximately 2-3C
- Mini dipper cooler at front service counter at 2C
- Relish and condiment cooler at approximately 2C (bottom) and 4C (top)
- French vanilla dispenser unit at 4C
- Hot-holder for nacho cheese and chili dispensing unit at 60C
- Sausages and taquitos hot-held at 60C
- Chicken wings and baked products stored inside hot-holding cabinet from 65C to 80C - good
- Walk-in freezer at -27C
- Chest freezer (near front entrance) at -18C
- Stand-up freezer at -14C (at back storage area)
- Undercounter freezer (at front-of-house) at -12C
- Temperature logs maintained and up-to-date
NOTE: Milk creamers are held on ice and changed every 2 hours. Most recent logs were audited and were satisfactory. At time of inspection, no melted ice was observed in any of the creamer compartments. According to the senior sales associate, the creamer compartment is emptied after 2 hours and then cleaned and sanitized before re-use. UHT-processed creamers are also available and are stored at room temperature.
2. Hygiene and Sanitizing
- Hand wash station in front service area, back area with the ice machines, and in back storage area stocked with hot/cold running water, liquid soap, and single-use paper towels (including splash guards)
- Quaternary ammonium compound (QUATS) dispenser releases 200 ppm inside the three-compartment sink
- QUATS spray bottle at front-of-house at 200 ppm. Spray nozzle was also spraying sideways - the associate changed the nozzle at time of inspection
- Separate containers are labelled "washed" and "used". Items in "washed" container were in good sanitary condition. Pizza cutters and knives are cleaned once every 2-4 hours
- Hot chocolate machines in good sanitary condition inside and outside
3. Storage
- Products are generally elevated at least 6 in (15 cm) off the floor - good
- Items are covered in original packaging when not in use
- Chemicals stored separately under 3-compartment sink
NOTE: Please ensure that you store "write-off" items separate from any items currently in use. (e.g. use a plastic designated bin for write-off items)
4. Pests
- No evidence of recent pest activity at time of inspection (old rodent droppings observed behind front service counter)
- Professional pest control company conducts monthly audits
- Most recent pest control report on June 12, 2019 did not reveal any recent rodent activity
5. Administrative
- All employees are trained with "SafeCheck Advanced Canadian Food Safety Certification" (Equivalent to FoodSafe 1 as of January 1, 2019)
- Senior Sales associate was certified on May 31, 2019 |
