Note: As discussed above, facility currently has a large room with a floor drain that they are using to wash large pots and pans that do not fit into their dishwasher. They wash these pots on the floor and use a hose to clean/rinse them off. This is not an acceptable method of sanitizing your food equipment/utensils. Discussed with the president of the temple that they will need to find a way to wash, rinse, and sanitize ALL pots/equipment off the floor. Discussed with temple president about installing a large trough-like sink that can have 3 stations/overhead hoses for: washing, rinsing and sanitizing.
He will be contacting a company to determine what the maximum size sink is that they can install in this pot washing room. Discussed with president that the sink does not have to be high up as he has concern about staff being able to lift the large heavy pots into the sink; once the facility has a better idea of measurements and size of the proposed sink, it can be discussed whether it is adequately high enough off the floor. Business card provided.
Routine inspection conducted:
-Walk in cooler is at 4 deg C
-Chest freezer: -22 deg C
-Dry storage area beside walk in cooler is organized, some dry foods (containers of lentils, chickpeas, etc) were audited for presence of any physical contaminants--> no physical contaminants observed in dry foods. Discussed with president about not accepting any donated foods that are unpackaged/loose.
-No hot holding at time of inspection
-Fumehood is clean
-General sanitation is satisfactory
-Dry storage downstairs area: cardboard boxes with plates/utensils have been now wrapped in plastic to prevent pests.
Follow up inspection to be conducted for high temperature dishwasher. As well, plans for the sink/pot washing room will need to be submitted once ready for review.
Thank you.
