HAZARD RATING FOR YOUR FACILITY: High (≥30) Total Score = 33
Critical Hazards: Total Number: 2
302 - Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not properly washed and sanitized [s. 17(2)]
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION):
- No sanitizer available in front area.
- Sanitizer bucket in kitchen had dishes in the bucket. Wiping cloth in kitchen not put in sanitizer, and is used without any sanitizer to wipe food contact surfaces. The staff member did not know that the cloth actually needs to be immersed in the sanitizer before wiping surfaces.

Corrective Action(s):
- Immediately prepare a 100-200 ppm chlorine (bleach) sanitizer solution for the front area to wipe food contact surfaces and the dining area tables and chairs.

After explaining to the staff member that she must take off her gloves first to wash her hands, the staff member ignored what the Health Inspector was saying. When the Health Inspector again asked the staff member to wash her hands properly by taking off the gloves, the staff member began to yell in her language that she has washed her gloves already and then left the kitchen.

Review proper hand washing procedures with all staff. Gloves do not replace hand washing. Post signage at the hand sink for the steps of proper hand washing.
