Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.

Code	Description
205	Critical Cold potentially hazardous food stored/displayed above 4 °C. [s. 14(2)] Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Approximately 20 eggs were found on a tray in room temperature. Operator states that the eggs were taken out overnight. Eggs are potentially hazardous meaning that they can support the growth of harmful bacteria. (Public Health significance) - All potentially hazardous foods must be stored at below 4°C or above 60°C - out of the danger zone to prevent bacterial growth and possibly food borne illness Corrective Action: Operator voluntarily discarded the eggs. Ensure that potentially hazardous cold foods, such as eggs, are always stored in working refrigeration units that maintain a temperature of 4°C or less until ready to use. Continue to regularly monitor and record the temperature of these units, and adjust the temperatures or have serviced, as required.
209	Repeat Food not protected from contamination [s. 12(a)] Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) Foods such as hoisin sauce and MSG, salt, cornstarch, sugar condiments are regularly left uncovered and open to contamination overnight. (Public Health significance) - Contamination of food from contact with objects, people, pests or chemicals can cause serious illness. Corrective Action: Operator covered all of the food with either proper fitting lids or aluminium foil. Ensure that all foods are covered to protect them from airborne contaminants, drips from raw foods, and contact with objects and staff. Discard, the food if it is contaminated or suspected of contamination.
305	Conditions observed that may allow entrance/harbouring/breeding of pests [s. 26(b),(c)] Observation: Gaps in the ceiling were identified as potential entry points for pest by the pest contractor. In particular there is a large ceiling hole in the electrical room that the operator states cannot be covered up due to the wiring structure. (Public Health significance) All potential entrance points must be properly blocked off to prevent the access by pest. Rodents and other pest may cross contaminate foods and surfaces with feces and urine, carry parasites and other diseases. Corrective Action: Operator continues to work closely with the their pest control contractor to address the rodent issue. Ensure that any pest attractants such as food and water are removed, access to the building and indoor routes are eliminated, and that all locations of mice droppings are routinely cleaned and sanitized to monitor the situation. An example of eliminating indoor routes may look like preventing pest access to the kitchen from the electrical room by installing a door skirt on the electrical room door.
