306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation: 1) The exhaust canopy and filters have accumulated grease, which could fall into food or on staff. The next professional cleaning was due on Jan. 11/23. Manager explained that the filters are not cleaned between professional cleanings as it's too difficult and unsafe.
2) There is dust accumulated on the upper walls and ceiling tiles around air diffusers. The dust could fall into food or on cookware and make people sick. These surfaces are cleaned monthly.
3) There are food crumbs and stains on u/c shelves; on the legs of equipment, tables, shelves, and sinks; and on the exterior surfaces of food containers and lids. Pests will be attracted and harbor on these surfaces.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Schedule the exhaust canopy and filter to be cleaned by a professional company. Increase the frequency the filters are cleaned to once a month. If staff are unable to clean the filters themselves, contract a company to clean them monthly.
**Correction date: Feb. 28/23**
2) Wash the upper walls and ceiling tiles to remove the dust. Increase the frequency these surfaces are cleaned to 2x a month, to prevent the accumulation of dust.
**Correction date: Feb. 15/23**
3) Wash and scrub the mentioned surfaces to remove the food crumbs and stains. Increase the frequency these surfaces are cleaned to 2x a month, to prevent attracting and harboring pests.
