This facility is ordered CLOSED until a follow-up inspection is done by Fraser Health Authority. In order to re-open:
1. Update food safety plan to include how staff will prepare food in a safe manner. Submit update plan for review.
2. Sanitation plan sent to me for review. Update may be required.
3. Facility is offering a total of 116 menu items; however, the facility only has a 3-door cooler, a prep cooler, an upright cooler, and a 2-door freezer for this operation. There is not enough storage space for this operation to offer 116 menu items, even if delivery of foods is 4x a week. A 30% reduction of menu is required (around 80 menu items). Submit reduced menu for review.
4. Food safety concepts lacking in kitchen, even though some staff have FOODSAFE. Kitchen staff must all be FOODSAFE certified to ensure food safety principles are applied.
5. Facility must be thoroughly cleaned, like a new facility.
