Critical Hazards: Total Number: 3
205 - Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)]
Observation: Fry freezer items thawing as freezer at temperatures greater than 4 degrees Celsius. Surface temperatures of fries found to be at 13 degrees Celsius
Food items stored in ice baths. Internal temperatures of 6-9 degrees observed.
.
Corrective Action(s): Items relocated to working freezer unit.
Obtain mechanical cooler for items on line that are currently stored in ice baths. Ice baths do not keep consistent temperatures of less than or equal to 4 degrees Celsius for potentially hazardous food items.

401 - Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
Observation: Two hand sinks do not maintain hot water (44 degrees Celsius) consistently. The hand sink across from the dishwashing area and the hand sink located between the cook line and the pizza oven have temperatures that fluctuate between 21 degrees Celsius and 45 but are not constantly at 45 degrees Celsius. Water will turn cold then hot again.
NOTE: Both hand sinks are operated with leg push valve and do not have regular hand controlled faucets as all other hand sinks do. This may be contributing to the inconsistent water temperature.
.
Corrective Action(s): Have plumber inspect both hand sinks to ensure they are operating properly.
