Non-Critical Hazards: Total Number: 5
209 - Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)]
Observation: **NOTE: THIS IS A REPEATED VIOLATION, ALSO NOTED DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION #KLAI-CCHSQQ**
1. Multiple containers of condiments (e.g. rice, flour, sugar, cocoa powder, etc.) noted beside the cookline and in the dry storage areas were stored without lids/ protection.
2. Multiple containers of food in the walk-in cooler (e.g. cooked shrimps, bean sprouts, noodles, sauces, etc.) and upright freezer (e.g. corns, dumplings, etc.) were stored unprotected without lids/ plastic wrap.
3. 4 containers of food (e.g. raw meats, marinating pork) were noted stored directly on the floor in the walk-in cooler. **At the start of the inspection, a staff was seen moving containers of food off the floor onto the shelvings**
4. A large carton of 30 raw eggs was stored over the shelving noted with unprotected noodles, bean sprouts, etc. in the walk-in cooler.
5. Large amount of frost noted in the upright freezer (brown unit) across from the 3-compartment sink.
Corrective Action(s): 1 and 2. Cover and protect all food in the walk-in cooler, reach-in cooler and upright freezers. All food must be stored protected, either with proper lids, cover or plastic wrap to avoid potential cross-contamination.
3. Move all containers of food off the floor. All food and food contact items must be stored at least 6 inches off the floor to avoid dust or debris being kicked into the food. The 6 inch clearance also allows for effective cleaning of the floor and monitoring of pests.
4. Move the carton of raw eggs to the lowest shelf in the walk-in cooler and ensure storage in all refrigerator and freezer units follow the proper storage hierarchy of having produce, ready-to eat and cooked food on top or away from raw meats and raw eggs.
5. Defrost the brown freezer to avoid frost from contaminating the food stored within.
