HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: High (≥30) Total Score = 35
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
203 - Food not cooled in an acceptable manner [s. 12(a)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): One large pot of beef broth located in the walk in cooler had an internal temperature of 12 degrees C. It was stated by the owner that the beef broth had been prepared the previous night.
Corrective Action(s): The beef broth was adulterated with bleach by the Environmental Health Officer at the time of inspection to prevent reuse before discarding. The beef broth is to be discarded by the operator today. Ensure all potentially hazardous foods are cooled properly from 60 degrees C to 20 degrees C within 2 hours, and 20 degrees C to 4 degrees C within 4 hours to limit the growth of potential pathogens and/or toxins, which may not be destroyed by heat. Some methods used to facilitate rapid cooling include use of ice wands, placing into an ice bath with stirring, adding cold water and/or ice to the product, and placing into shallow pans.
Violation Score: 5

301 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): 1. Knives were found stored in the space between the preparation cooler and the work table. Debris was observed in this space.
Corrective Action(s): 1. Knives were removed at the time of inspection to be washed and sanitized. Ensure that utensils are not stored in this space as it cannot be effectively cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis.

302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): No sanitizer was detected in spray bottle labeled "bleach" in kitchen area. No sanitizer was detected in container storing solution and wiping cloths located at the front. One spray bottle located at the front measured well over 200 ppm chlorine. This is a repeat violation.
Corrective Action(s): Bleach water sanitizer was prepared for front and kitchen areas and measured at 100 to 200 ppm chlorine. For a 100 ppm chlorine solution, mix 1 teaspoon of unscented household bleach for every litre of water. Ensure that sanitizer is always available while in operation in order to properly sanitize surfaces.
Violation Score: 15
