Description / Observation / Corrective Action |
| 511 | Cold holding equipment is able to maintain a temperature of 4 degrees C. or lower (Sec 19(1)(b))
Observation: The outstanding issue continues to be the 2 prep refrigeration units: neither of them are capable of maintaining food temperatures at or below 4C during service. A contributing factor to the temperature problems is that none of the drawers provide a tight seal when they are closed and the lid that covers the inserts does not have a rubber seal at all.
Corrective Action: Whilst staff are diligently implementing a 2 hour rotation and not storing any food in these units when the facility is closed, this system cannot be a long term solution. Potentially hazardous foods must be stored at 4C or less and cold holding units must be capable of maintaining temperatures at or below 4C. Failure to have this issue addressed will result in enforcement action.
