HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: Moderate (16-29) Total Score = 28
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 1
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. > 200 PPM chlorine residual (chlorine test strips bleached out) tested in the sanitizer spray bottle in the back of house and sanitizer container in the sushi prep area.
**Issue corrected during the inspection** The sanitizer spray bottle and sanitizer container were diluted during the inspection. 200 PPM chlorine residual detected in the spray bottle and sanitizer container once issue was corrected.

2. < 10 PPM chlorine residual was tested at the low temperature dish machine after the rinse cycle during the inspection. It was noted that the sanitizer container for the dish machine was empty.
**Issue corrected during the inspection** A new sanitizer container was replaced for the low temperature dish machine. Unable to prime the machine to detect chlorine residual once the new container was installed. After a few attempts, 50 PPM chlorine residual was detected during the rinse cycle.
In the future, when issue(s) arise with the low temperature dish machine, do not try to attempt and fix the issue using mouth or in any unapproved manners that may cause harm to the body. Accidental ingestion of chemicals may lead to serious health consequences. Contact dish machine contractor when troubleshooting the machine if the operator cannot figure out issue.

3. Dried on vegetable still noted on a "cleaned" vegetable slicer.
**Issue corrected during the inspection** Staff removed the vegetable slicer for cleaning during the inspection.
Corrective Action(s): 1 and 2. Obtain chlorine test strips from your chemical supplier. This is the only way to determine whether you have the correct concentration of chlorine (100 - 200 PPM when used on food contact surfaces, achieved by diluting 2 mL of bealch with 1 L water and 50 - 100 PPM at the low temperature dish machine) for proper sanitation.
When more than 200 PPM of chlorine is used for the sanitation of food contact surfaces, this may lead to a chemical hazard where the excess chlorine may transfer to the food prepared on these surfaces, causing foodborne illnesses to the customers.
3. Use a screw driver to dissemble the vegetable slicer. Wash, rinse and sanitize all parts of the vegetable slicer prior to re-assembling and storing away.
Dissemble the vegetable slicer after every use to ensure it can be properly cleaned and sanitized.
Violation Score: 25
