209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. Raw pork stored above ready-to-eat vegetables. Note: Raw pork within unopened, vacuum sealed packaging (no leakage observed) and vegeatables (bean sprouts) within bag--no direct contact.
2. Employee personal items stored in same area as food equipment and utensils (e.g. knives). One glove that appeared to be used was also observed in same area.
3. Two bottles of bleach water sanitizer were tested with a chlorine concentration greater than 200 ppm (test strip was bleached out white).
Corrective Action(s): 1. Raw pork relocated away from ready-to-eat foods. Ensure that raw foods (for example, raw chicken or pork) are not stored above ready-to-eat foods such as fruits and vegetables to prevent potential contamination. Raw animal products may potentially leak onto foods below.
2. Personal items removed from aforementioned area. Glove discarded. Knives washed and sanitized at time of inspection. Ensure that personal items are stored in a designated area away from food or food equipment/utensils/surfaces to prevent potential contamination. Gloves are one-time use and are to be appropriately discarded following use.
3. Bleach water sanitizer was diluted to a concentration of 100 to 200 ppm chlorine. Ensure sanitizer is maintained at effective concentrations for sanitizing food contact surfaces. Excess bleach (e.g. greater than 200 ppm chlorine) on surfaces may potentially contaminate food.
Violation Score: 9
