Critical Hazards: There are no critical hazards.
Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
306 - Food premises not maintained in a sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]

Corrective Action(s):
Thoroughly scrub and clean the floors EVERY day. Ensure the floors along the base of walls, under sinks & racks & equipment are also scrubbed cleaned EVERY day.
**Correction date: Today**
Violation Score: 3

308 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces are not in good working order [s. 16(b)]
Observation:
1) The pipe under the 3-compartment sink (sanitizing sink) is leaking. Waste water is pooling on the floor and food debris is accumulating on the pipe where it is leaking. This is creating an environment that flies love to breed in.

2) The handwashing sink (nearest the walk-in-cooler) has no hot and cold running water exiting it. Staff are unable to wash their hands.
Corrective Action(s):
1) Repair the pipe so it no longer leaks. Clean up the pooling water on the floor and remove the debris on the waste pipe. This should help eliminate breeding areas for flies.
Correction date: May 26/25**

2) Repiar the handwashing sink so running hot and cold water exits the taps at all times.
**Correction date: Today**
Violation Score: 3

ACTION:
The waste pipe (Sanitizing sink waste pipe) under the 3-comp sink is leaking. Repair the pipe so it no longer leaks.
Fix the oven so the water/condensation no longer leaks onto the floor. Staff MUST empty the pan collecting the water at the end of the night to remove a water source for pests. Wash the pan every night to remove any food debris.
Repair the handwashing sink so running hot and cold water exits the tap at all times.
The floors require a thorough scrub and cleaning to remove the debris and stains. Ensure the floors under sinks, racks, equipment, and along the base of walls are being scrubbed clean EVERY night.
