205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Raw bean sprouts were stored in a bucket of water at room temperature for over 2 hours.
Corrective Action(s): Raw bean sprouts must be stored at 4 degrees Celsius or less (either in a refrigerator or on ice) to prevent bacterial growth. If raw bean sprouts are stored at room temperature for more than two hours they shall be discarded. Operator discarded bean sprouts at time of inspection,
Violation Score: 5

206 - Hot potentially hazardous food stored/displayed below 60 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Fried chicken was stored at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Corrective Action(s): Cooked food shall be kept hot at 60 degrees Celsius or more to prevent bacterial growth. If cooked food is stored at room temperature for more than two hours it shall be discarded. Operator discarded the fried chicken at time of inspection.
Violation Score: 5

401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Kitchen hand sink was not equipped with liquid hand soap and the hand sink in the sushi bar was used for defrosting frozen food.
Corrective Action(s): Hand sinks must be stocked with liquid soap and paper towels at all times to aid in proper hand washing. Additionally, hand sinks shall not be used for any purpose other than hand washing. Items placed in a hand sink prevent staffs from washing their hands. Operator corrected both issues at time of inspection.
Violation Score: 5

402 - Employee does not wash hands properly or at adequate frequency [s. 21(3)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Observed staff washing gloved hands after preparing tempura with their hands.
Corrective Action(s): Single-use/disposable gloves are not required for food handling, but if they are used they shall be discarded after each use as they are not intended to be washed/cleaned. Before putting on new gloves, staffs shall wash their hands at the hand sink using liquid soap and warm water, and dry with paper towels. Regardless of whether disposable gloves are used, steps to reduce direct hand contact with foods shall be taken. For example, when preparing tempura instead of using hands use tongs or chop sticks instead so that batter does not accumulate on hands. At time of inspection, staff was instructed to discard the batter covered gloves they were wearing (and attempting to wash) and wash their hands again.
Violation Score: 5

Non-Critical Hazards: There are no non-critical hazards.
