HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Low (≤15) Total Score = 13
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
206 - Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Noodles were measured at an internal temperature near 41 degrees C on the back prep. table at room temperature. Operator mentioned that the noodles were prepared recently within 2 hours and that they are reheated in the microwave upon customer order.
Corrective Action(s): Noodles were reheated to the minimal 74 degrees C internal temperature and were placed into the preheated hot-holding unit to hot-hold them at or above 60 degrees C upon verbal direction by the district EHO. Do not store/display potentially hazardous food in the danger zone between 4 degrees C to 60 degrees C as bacteria can grow in the food in this temperature range and to meet regulatory requirements.
Violation Score: 5

303 - Equipment/facilities/hot & cold water for sanitary maintenance not adequate [s. 17(3); s. 4(1)(f)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Over 200 ppm chlorine santiizer was measured in the bucket in the front area as the test strip was blanking out, which is potentially too toxic for use on food contact surfaces.
Corrective Action(s): Operator adjusted the chlorine sanitizer in the bucket to 100 ppm (1/2 teaspoon bleach per L of water).
Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
307 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not of suitable design/material [s. 16; s. 19]
Observation: 1. Aluminum foil was observed lining the lower surface of a table where take-out containers are stored, two shelving units near the microwave, and the lower surface of the glass sliding door cooler. Aluminum foil is not a durable, smooth, and easy to clean surface and is intended only for single-use.
2. A foam material was used to seal the floor to wall junctions in the food service establishment, which may collect debris over time.
Corrective Action(s): 1. Remove the aluminum foil and replace it with a non-porous, easy to clean, durable, impermeable to moisture, and nontoxic material. Correct within 1 week.
2. Ensure a durable, smooth, easy to clean, nontoxic, and impervious to moisture material (e.g. baseboards) is used to seal the floor to wall junctions. Correct within 5 months.
Violation Score: 3
