311 - Premises not maintained as per approved plans [s. 6(1)(b)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. Some of the food that was being held at room temperature using time as a control did not have time stamp on the product. As per our previous agreement, facility may use time as a temperature for hot/ cold potentially hazardous food provided that they follow the strict requirement for time stamping any of these products and recording it on their food temperature chart.
2. Some hot food were also noted in a hot hold unit that was revealed to be not functioning properly and have no time stamps on the products.
Corrective Action(s): **Issues were corrected during the inspection**
Time stamps were placed on all the products that were using time as a control.
Seeing that the facility just got a new general Manager, time as a control was reviewed with the Manager as it is his responsibility to ensure all staff follows this protocol. Any food in the future not following this protocol will be discarded.
Violation Score: 1

Comments

Routine inspection conducted today:
- Refrigerator units were holding food at 4C or below.
- Rice in rice cookers were being held at over 60C.
- Deep fryers and fume hood was noted in a sanitary condition.
- In-use rice paddle was noted storing at room temperature water. As per staff, water changed out every hour - acceptable.
- Drain plugs available for the 2-compartment sink for manual warewashing.
- General cleanliness and organization in this area was noted satisfactory.
- Bleach spray bottle was noted available. 200 PPM chlorine residual was detected.
- No signs of pest activities noted in this area.
- Two food handlers at this unit has FOODSAFE level 1 certificates - certificates verified.

Reminder:
- Paper towel must be loaded into the paper towel dispenser to avoid contaminating the roll of paper towel before they are being used.
- Food in the hot hold unit was initially noted slightly below 60C. As per staff, the hot food was just cooked fresh about half an hour ago and placed in the hot hold unit. When the food in this hot hold unit was checked again an hour later, all food was noted over 60C. Issue might have been that staff placed hot food in the hot hold unit then turned the machine on after the food was placed into the unit. They must turn on the hot hold unit, make sure it reaches 74C, before placing any hot food into this unit for holding.
